i have a 68 mustang that i am restoring. i used to have a 65 mustang and the instrument lights were dim but i don't remember them being this dim. you can't even see how fast you are going. and you can't see the gas,oil or alternator light at all the only light you can see is the highbeam headlight light. when you turn on the dim lights none of the light come on. is there a solution or better yet a better instrument panel on the market today.

thanks for any help

I would either replace the instrumenation voltage regulator (it's behind the instrumentation panel) and/or the headlight switch. My instrumentation lights went out last week and I found it was my bad headlight switch.

The pull out headlight switch rotates and controls the brightness of the dash lights. Maybe yours was rotated over and you didn't know it
