Default Help me with my 94 accord EX problems with the lights

o.k. I've got this 94 Honda Accord Ex sedan automatic. And I'm having some light problems. My dash board gauge lights (you know how you have the blue lights to light up the numbers, and the two over head lights to light up the needles) well, the over head light above the mph doesn't light up unless i bang the dash really hard a few times. Its the same thing with the moon roof button. it doesn't light up unless i bang the dash. I used to have the same problem with the right head light, but not anymore. but the right parking light still has the same deal. it's very annoying because when the mph over head light is out, then it's hard to read the mph, and i can't even read the gas. I checked the fuse, and its fine. help me!!!!!!

1) Have you tried replacing the bulbs
2) Have you looked to make sure the terminals are clean?
3) Have you cleaned the terminals?

For the top ones in the dash it may just be beneficial to replace the bulbs and try that first, rather than trouble shooting since they're cheap and the cluster is a pain.

Cluster Removal Thread, there's one with pics

Moon roof button probably just needs a bulb replacement

and the Headlight, take off the plugs to the bulb and see if it's dirty in there, I use 90% rubbing alcohol and I'd scrub it a bit (old toothbrush/papertowel,etc) and pull out the bulb to see if it's busted.
