The problem is I cannot see my fuel, temp gauge needles at all at night. Now I know the needles them selves do not light up, and I have read that there is suppose to be 2 or so lights that shine down allowing you to see the needles. I have took apart the cluster many times trying to find out exactly why this is happening, and I couldnot figure it out all the bulbs work. Now I bought the car used maybe it is possible that something is missing that allow these needles to be seen. The MPH I see good, but the RPM gauge I barely see also. Oh and I replaced all the bulbs with new ones and same thing. So any Ideas pictures of an SI cluster front and back would help thanx

let me get this clear. you replaces ALL bulbs? if so, did you check the harness wiring?

 

see my problem is not the actually back amber lighting it is the lights which i believe were suppose to be on top either I think are not there or dont work. DOes someone have a pic of exactly where they are so I can see

 

See the wires? Follow them to the top of the cluster, which will reveal two more bulbs. These bulbs shine onto the gauges. If they are burnt, you wouldn't be able to see the needles too well.

See I knew my cluster had a problem on mine I do not have that part with the wire at all. My bulb socket I guess you could say is there but it does not have any wires leading to the top at all. Now what can I do about this?

 

Find a cheap DX cluster and remove it from that. OR purchase the parts from the dealership.
