mine did the same on my 85. all the fuses are dandy...

i just glance at my "unimportant" gauges while passing street lamps. (my tach, oil, and temp gauges are seperate and have their own lights.)

It's your switch that controls the brightness of the instrument lights, if you take it out and bypass it at the terminals, you will get your dash lights back rx7doctor
