Well I guess it was a day of success and failure. I got my cd deck and subs all wired up and they sound good. while I had my dash apart I figured it was a good opportunity to *fix* my burnt out climate control light bulb with a random LED i had sitting on the work bench=first mistake. I bent the contact wires to fit the plug, put er in, turned on my headlights=second mistake.
My gauge cluster lights flickered once then went out. now they don't work at all. checked for fuses and that good stuff. nothing was burnt. I got sick of messing with it so I didn't take the cluster out and look at the bulbs yet. do you think i just burned out all my other lights or is there some other switch/component I could have burned on that circuit? anybody have a link to a GOOD wiring diagram?

 

I know this is no help but lets see those subs...

bump to the tooooop

 

Start out easy, and check your fuses first... if not check the bulbs. I don't know what to suggest other than that..

 

pulled my dash apart and the bulbs were still good... no fuses burnt so i decided to just go to radio shack and get some LED's and 4AA battery holder and rigged it up. ill get some pics up

 

here it is

 

Still no workey properly?

About the dim spots,,, there are different bulbs you can get that minimize that. I know its probably not as bad as it looks in the pictures but I have seen some that are damn near a perfect spread. Search around here there are a few threads about this.
