Some dash lights not working
 
Hi all,

New here, just bought a 95 Impreza WRX STI today.

Unfortunately I have no dashboard lights apart from the rev counter.

I'll check the fuses tomorrow but if they're not the reason any other suggestions / solutions?

Blown dash bulbs. Easy fix with new bulbs costing pennies.

Great, thanks.

I'll try and find out how to get in there today and get sorted.

Errr.....bulbs?

Think about how long they spend on, and how warm they get.

Getting is is easy, screw(s) under the instrument cowling top, remove those, work the cowling out of place.

Three more screws deep down inside the dash, you'll see them, use a magnetic screwdriver to avoid losing the screws into the dash;)

Pull instruments forwards and release wiring clips, then speedo cable...this last can be a PITA.

Replace ALL illumination bulbs, they are W5w also called 501. They are in quater turn holder, the bulbs push fit them.

Replace the instruments in the reverse order.

HTH.
