Gauge lights don't work. Please help.
I have a 1970 Corvette and I'm having problems with the interior gauge lights. They don't turn on. I recently replaced the headlight switch and changed all the interior bulbs to leds, but that didn't work.
I was told to put a ground on the switch. Any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The INST fuse must be hot when the light switch is pulled out and rotated counterclockwise , is it ?
(The headlight switch being grounded is for the interior lights but has nothing to do with the dash lights.)

O k...they worked before the switch and bulb change ???...try one of your old regular bulbs...led's are polarity sensitve,only work one way....(just a test)...add a ground wire to the metal part of the switch....(behind dash) hope your dash is open..then try lights....is the switch a repro from ecklers ??
