   My dash lights e.g speedo, revs etc have gone extremely dim, basically not working.
   
   Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
   
   My car is an 02 VTR if thats any help. Thanks

   Hold down/ Tap the right button thing on dash while engine is running should brighten them up

   Ye it acutally brightens/dims the lights on the dash, So just tap it till it gets bright, If you was playing with it that will be your problem

    Put the ignition to second click and hold down the left button on the dials.
