Question
The needles on my Tach and speedo don't light up any more,(temp and fuels flicker)  is there anything I can do to get them to light up as they should.

Answer
    There is a bulb or bulbs behind the dash that provides illumination for the gauges.  Check to see that the knob that adjusts the brightness of your dash lights is working on all the other lights, just to make sure that it's not bad.  I would imagine that getting to these bulbs on a tightly packed car like this will not be easy, but that is really the only way to go about it.  Buy the bulbs at the dealer and they will probably tell you how to most easily get at them.
