Trip lights won't turn on..
So I am new in the corvette scene but I a assuming this isn't normal.. At night when my lights are on I have noticed that on the right side of the cluster gauge only 2 of the buttons light up, and the others do not.
Anyone have any idea on how to repair this? I have a picture that is showing which lights are on and there is 2 or 3 others that are not lit up..
Thank you!

You probably bought an old car, right? Remember to always state at least model year and mileage when asking for that kind of help. That's normal (as of 'it happens often') on old and/or high-mileage Vettes. Anyway, don't remember if you can replace the individual miniature bulbs yourself, or if you have to buy the entire pod. You could do a search, or wait for somebody to post details. Good luck.

Unfortunately the individual lights are not designed to be easily repaired.
However, if you're handy with a soldering iron, they can be replaced.
The "normal" approach is to wait until several of the lamps are out and then replace the entire switch cluster. <$30.

Awesome, been soldering for a long while now.. I will look into that then but under $30 for a new pod is well worth it also
