Its me again with another question! The dash lights on my 75 1.8 are very dim, and I am using this car as a commuter. Once a week, I drive 120 miles to work, and back. About half freeway, and half swoopies and twisties through the southern california mountains. Yay! Back to my question, the guage lights in the speedo, tach, and fuel guages all work, however they are so dim that you cant really see the guages. Is it time to clean the connections, disassemble the guages and clean the lights, or replace the guages. I realize that each car is different, but what is the most common problem? Thanks...

Might want to replace the bulbs with the white leds. Works pretty good.
If it is a wiring problem then maybe the headlight knob needs to be replaced or cleaned. |
