Also check all the wires for damage, copper track on the clocks in good condition?

Swedge ive allways wondered what the middle hole is for?

Middle one lights the mileage and the plastic pcb on the back has nothing to do with lighting the halogens :d so blown bulbs or the battery you were testing it on was half charged or faulty digi

all 3 bulbs are present in my dash they all light up bright you can see them when looking from the top
but the face of the dash is very dim you can only tell its on by looking at it then disconnecting the battery
