what's going on with my lights?

Jos51700: i don't know the answer to that. the amperage rating in the manual is like 2 for the instrument fuse.

I'll pull the bezel and test/clean up the top of the fuse block, the pink, and tan wire connections.

I sure wish my eyes weren't going. I use drugstore readers (1.25) for most things close but under the dash they're about useless. I wear like 3.5s to really magnify stuff close up. It would be amusing to watch me working under there - switching glasses, cleaning lenses every other time- but amusing is not how I'd describe it.
