Howdy,
after trying to find the dimmer to turn up my dash lights ( cause they dont seem to work ) i found out my car does not have a dimmer switch. :S
just a bit strange.
And also your compliance place cut corners. Pretty sure if the car doesn't have one they have to fit one for compliance. That certainly used to be the case.
Ok I found the problem. I pulled off the trim around the cluster to get to the dimmer, found that for some reason or another the top plug was simply unplugged. I plugged it back in and works fine now. Looks nice when its fully lit up.
