Default In the dark

My instrument panel lights are dim. all bulbs have been replaced. Is their a transformer. Would putting in a new light switch correct the problem.Also, should'nt the light switch itself be illuminated like the wiper switch. I saw no place for bulb or fiberoptics.

Hey Mark,
The reostat in the headlight switch is probably bad. Replace the whole switch and no, it is not illuminated.

I have heard the lights are rather dim anyway. Mine certainly are. How hard was it to replace the bulbs? I have my blinker indicator out and am not looking forward to crawiling under to fix it. Let us know how it works out if you change the switch.
