Gauge lights died...wtf?
I was driving back home on the high way lastnight, and then out of nowhere....the gauge lights just died? The warning lights are still working however, my ABS light is on (got a problem with my sensor) and my SES light is also on (always has been since the emissions have been disconnected)
The light was pretty dim, as in dying. Could it have died? And if so, how hard is it to change it?

I will check the fuses and see if any have popped, because a loose fuse will not give a dim light.

well it's got like 8 "194" light bulbs that light up the cluster, so the chances of them all going out or "dying" is very rare, I'd say a fuse or some kind of other electrical problem like a bad short in the circuit could be a very real possibility. Have you done any kind of work that involved moving, cutting, or even messing with any kinds of wires in the car? you could have possibly messed something up.

My front right head light has been giving me some trouble, won't work without a tap or bang on the headlight, and now won't work at all. Then the dash lights went dead (same night the headlight gave up working). I checked the bulb, the filament is still intact.
I have not touched any electrics on the car, so this is my car just being an LT1 I guess lol

I just discovered my tail lights don't work either, but the brake lights do.
This is getting rather interesting. I will have a go at it tomorrow night.

I will have to work on that as well. I don't mind a headlight not working, its getting in trouble with the police that I want to avoid.
