    My buddy just called me the Fonz tonight for smacking the dash to get my cluster fully lit.
    Need a part? PM me.

      Hah! I used to have to smack the cluster all the time to get the left side to light up. Now it lights up on it's own. I guess it fixed itself. Just do it!

        I do it all the time... If it was the headlight switch itself (the dimmer being the problem), all the lights would be out.

          same thing happens with my gauges. the left side is dark but for me the light kicks on after a few minutes of driving. it basically works when it wants to. but then again my speedo and odometer dont work either.

                    Happens to me too, and no, it wasn't the light switch. Not to be a dick, ZM since your advice is always great and never stop giving it out, but from my experience I bought a new OEM light switch due to my passenger tail light not working and the problem still persists. So I just knock it every so often when it happens. If someone could provide an answer that'd be cool.
