Alrighty...

So, I've got a few lights out, and was wondering the best way to go about replacing them, but I'm also curious if all of these were actually lit.

Are the power mirror switches supposed to be illuminated at night?

My headlight switch/dome light roller are both dark now. I seem to remember someone saying that this whole switch needs replaced, but I can't seem to find that thread.

Finally, one of the lights in the gauge cluster is out - the one that illuminates the fuel gauge. I'm assuming that I'm going to need to pull the whole gauge cluster?
 






Check the links in my sig.

The headlight switch should be lit
The Dome light dimmer is not
The Mirror adjuster is not
everything else should be.

I fixed mine with the bulb available from Radio Shack. The whole switch doesn't need replaced. I took my bulb back out after I had it working though because the switch light caused an annoying glare on the driver side window that I couldn't get used to.
