So after a few months of browsing through this wonderful forum, while searching for my car, I got a 97 GT Hatch. So I have been getting it back on the road. New struts and brakes all the way around and was installing a new set of reverse glow gauges. Anyway I got the new gauges working correctly but now I have no lights for the needles. After searching I found that all the other lights work door adjar seatbelt etc but no needles even after installing some LEDs that I got from AutoZone. Am I up a creek? Do I need to go to a junk yard and get a new cluster than switch over the Speedo so mileage is still accurate. Any help will greatly appreciated also.I checked all fuses and everything else appears to be functioning correctly

Ok, one thing: when you turn on the lights, do you have the dimmer connected? Cluster lights will not turn on if you have the dimmer disconected.
Had the same problem when I was converting my dash to LEDs.... This post has been edited by Nihil: Jul 19, 2012 - 12:29 PM -------------------- |
