interior lights...

Hi Peter

If the wiring on yours is the same as the diagram that I am looking at, the
instrument lights are fed from the same fuse as the parking lights. If that
has blown you will have lost your parking lights as well.

On my fuse box, the "Tail" fuse is the 4th fuse from the left on the bottom
row.

If your car has one, a possibility could be the panel light switch or the
connections into it.

Cheers

Once you get them sorted there a couple of things you can do to improve them.
The popular thing is to turn them upside down so they shine slightly up rather
than down, make a decent difference. I pulled mine apart and cleaned the clear
plastic, I also got a small piece of foil tape and (after removing the bulb)
covered the black plastic at the back with this tape so it acts like a
reflector. This made them brighter again, but still knid'a crap compared to a
normal interior light :-)
