restoring a 1960 corvette, installed a new light switch all of the lights work correctly, however, the word bright and brake are lit all of the time in the instument panel even though the bright dim switch is working fine, any ideas would be appreciated

Check you have the correct globe holders in the correct holes first, then check all grounds are good, clean and tight.
Also check the E brake switch, but my money is on a bad ground.

Thanks for your help, I did have that apart to reolace the lens I know I did hook up a ground wire and I do not recall any cardboard tubes, I appreciate your help
I do have one other problem, I installed new felt on both windows and they fit so tight the window will not role up and down, any suggestions

edit....you may want to start a new thread for better responses.
if rear channels, the repro felt is too thick. I use fabric store felt.
if horiz channels, they're too thick too. i crush them in a vice before installation, especially the corners where they mate to the door posts.
