yeah you need to make sure you have power at the dash plugs, if you dont you will need to trace back to the fuse box. another problem may be the dimmer switch. that makes the dash lights go from dim to bright. it may be that the dimmer switch is dimmed right down or it has stopped working

yeah well in that case it sounds like the globes have blown, pull then out if they have a black tinge and the wire is broken go down to covs or repco and get some replacements.

Sometimes when the dash lights go out so do the tail lights so check the brake light fuses aswell

Hopefully thats all it is, we have a dash light globe grab kit at work so i might just havta "borrow it" for the night, just seems weird that its all the dial globes not just 1. I know that its common if one globe goes, like brake globes for instants, the other one will just randomly blow

Well I've taken the cluster out and it appears to be the globes that have blown, as the have a dark tinge to them as Marti said...

Now do i keep with the green condoms or should i go with blue or something?
