So I drive an 04 evo it has the blue gauge cluster with the red needles for the fuel temp tach and speedo well this morning I realized all I can see are the red needles lit up can't actually read anything on the gauges them self I already tried using the dimmer it works because my clock find and brightens when I use it. Any one have any idea this makes it really hard to drive at night also both tail lights work so it's not the fuses under the hood is there another fuse for the gauges back lights ?

 

Honestly I had same exact issue not too long ago and found fuse#20 burned out under the hood.check again. Gl

 

Thanks I'll check it out

 

Nope just popped it out and double checked it's fine threw in another for safe measure just to see and still no back lights on my dash

 

There's three bulbs but one lights the odometer. So one could have been out for awhile, which still gives pretty good light, and then you lost the other.

 

Ya that's my next plan it's always been really dim so I'm beginning to think maybe I only had one bulb working for all I know I'm going to pull the gauges after work tomorrow and take a peak can I pick new ones up from any autoparts store or will I have to go to a dealer to get them ?

 

I had the same problem and remember ordering from the dealer. I don't recall if I tried sourcing them locally.

 

I have a batteries + bulbs right next to my house they have what seems like every car light bulbs you could ever want so I'm going to hit them up tomorrow evening after work and see if they have them or if they can get them

 

you have lights yet? did you take it apart and find anything?

 

No hasn't gotten to it yet working 6 days a week the last couple weeks and by Sunday I'm getting ready to go back Monday for work lol but I have this hole weekend off and hope to dig into it

 

yea same thing happened to me. one early morning I noticed all my cluster lights were out. So soon as I got a chance i pulled the cluster to see that my last bulb had burned out. the others had been out for awhile lol. ended up getting new bulbs online.they didnt look like anything to special. They should be easy to find.

Neo5 Red - 5mm those are what you want. I put the stock condoms over the led bulb and it fits over the bulb housing slightly. That way you dont have burn spots on the clusters. You need 3 but order more as 1 just went out for me after 1.5 years. Goodluck. Hope that helps others going through this...
