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...

On mine, you couldn't see a couple of the lights when on. I checked them, and they worked fine when out. Put them in, and you couldn't see them. Come to find out that the inside of the lenses were really dirty. Cleaned the lenses, and the lights worked fine.
