I finished installing my HID's and now the gauge cluster won't light up, everything works fine except it won't light up. Also...my right rear light won't light up either, the turn signal lights up, the break light lights up, but the other light won't light up. I checked the bulb...it's fine, are the gauge cluster and right rear light on the same wire.
I hope it's not because of the HID's.
P.s. How do you disable DRL with the normal switch?

Re: My guage cluster won't light up!!! (Turbine Driven)

That's odd... the OEM HIDs don't do anything different in terms of wiring. Do you have a spare switch you could test on the car? It might be the switch going out, mine had the same problem and I had to have the switch replaced (except it was the dash lights not going on, the IC lighting was fine).
As for disabling DRLs, go over to my site, you'll find instructions in the Lighting Mods section. All you need is a teeny piece of electrical tape, scissors and your hands.

Re: My guage cluster won't light up!!! (roadsleeper)

hey thanks
I'll have the switch replaced. But I should keep my lights my lights on the "on" position until I disable the DRL, right? Your website is great, I added it to my favorites list.

No problem, and thanks for the compliment
I would check before chucking the switch, it might be something else (crossed wire perhaps? Or a burned out IC lighting bulb). And yes, definitely leave the lights on when running the car, that's what I did when I was having problems with my switch. Good luck!
