OK, all exterior lighting is up and on with the exception of 3 bad lamps, (One marker and two headlights) All directionals and 4 ways are good! Looks like i need a brake light switch and i should be in pretty good shape Lighting-wise. Dash is nice and Glowing Green. Directional indicators and High Beam indicator isn't working, but i very well may have a bad printed circuit....Or even lamps. Nothing more gratifying than when things of this nature start working. Far from done; but a nice size chunk is starting to come together...12 volts at the coil wire with the key on.....mmmm, mmmm Good! =)

It's not a bad idea to put all new lamps in the instrument cluster. There is a good amount of lumen depreciation over the years and new lamps will make the whole assembly a lot brighter for a few bucks.

Yeah, i do have a few dark spots.....It is a cluster that i bought off of a guy on e-bay and he told me the printed circuit MIGHT be bad....he sent me a set of "good bulbs"....hopefully a couple of them are bad....Thinking about going to get a dozen new ones (They're super cheap) and taking off the dash pad to go in from the top...Thanks for the reply SW!
