There are 4 halogen bulbs inside the cluster that provide backlighting. If you pull the plastic bezel off the front you will see 4 small aluminum covers. Turn the key to 'on' and I bet you see at least 1 of the bulbs are out behind the covers. :yesnod:

Thanks - I'll check it out - I hated the idea of taking apart the dash for nothing
