Insturment light queston???
88 AE TII mainly stock
I have noticed while driving around my insturment lights will be dim..then all of a sudden get bright. It goes back and forth. It doesn't have any pattern. I mainly notice it when it gets brighter. I am thinking it may be a battery or alternator problem. Maybe the voltage regulator in the alternator. but that is just a guess. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

If nothing else on the car is fluctuating, you'll need to resolder the connections in the cluster. I need to do this myself, my lights and clock only work when they feel like it.

Ack, I thought it said idiot lights. The instrument cluster dimming is the headlight switch. My car also needs THIS done as well. I have to slap my switch to get the lights to come on.
