So, when I turn the knob to turn on the lights the dashboard does not lit at all! The rear right hand bulb does not lit, and the right hand dim light does not lit as well. The rest is ok. Any thoughts? :O |

Iffy brightness control ? Twist the brightness see if it flickers into life. If it turns out to be the problem I will be forced to come round and bash you with a big padded newbie stick

Dashboard lights are powered from the fuse in the back of the 'Instr, Cluster' it looks like a bulb holder but is coloured RED. And with the rear right hand light check the bulb. might be a 'duff connection' or blown bulb. |

Its one of the twisty knobs sticking out of the instrument cluster (speedo). It wouldn't cause both faults but you may have 2 different faults. I think its the left knob. |

You can put it out the newbie stick, cause yesterday while working with the bulbs, one of my dim light bulb fell inside the headlight =/ So i need to remove the lens now to get it out. Sorry Kenny!

hehe, the newbie stick is only used for "dash lights dont work" and "centre vents blow cold". Careful removing the glass, the plastic clips can be quite brittle, only bend them as much as you need to. |

Yep, do it indoors after the plastic has warmed up a bit
