Try disconnecting your dimmer switch first then check all your fuses. I just replaced all the bulbs with LED's including the 3 base reflectors with LED's embedded in the prisms.
At last I have light the cluster.

I've thought about LEDs, I like being able to dim, don't want to fuss, sticking with bulbs for now.

I was afraid of the " Tokyo by night" experience but they are no brighter than my Jetta. I went for the blue LED's sold by Peter in Thailand. They are the replacement prism's.
The rest of the bulbs are a mix of LED's and standards. High beam is a blue LED and turn is a green LED. The jury is out on the LED's I put in the *****. The head light and the defrost is a bit bright.

we had pulled all fuses and cleaned them up along with relays and grounds, we had a problem with the ignition not working 75% of the time, at least it works more than 90% of the time now, will do dimmer switch and see what happens next
