60 With no dash lights

Post by muttis3LV6 »

Turned the lights on one night and no dash lights, like the stealth look but had to know how far under the limit i am :)

What are the usual suspects for this?
Cut down Sierra cab on extended LWB chasie running, Hilux front and Bundy back, with a 4AGZE should be finished about umm soon. A 60 Series work truck and some go fast toys too.

dimmer switch is on the right hand side of the dash down near the key barrel.
