when i turn on the headlights, i have no lights on the dash, although the leds work between the dials and on the vent controls

i admit i used to run a 4.0 chimp (sorry) and it had a little switch under the dash to turn them off and on, i found there was one here too but... no good. still no lights.

is there an obvious reason ? a fuse ? a thing somewhere ? or is this another dash related cost.

cheers

I don't drive mine in the dark, so never had to worry.

It's a good system biggrin

Your radio, cig lighter, number plate lights and side lights should come on with the side light button only. If not, I would check the fuses, don't trust the TVR handbook, fuse panel diagrams were never accurate, pull each fuse one at a time to ensure you don't miss it. If fuses are good then the instrument light switch may have failed.

would take 2 sec to check and might not be the problem but the little black button to turn the dial lights on/off have you pulled it out and checked the wires are attached could have easily come adrift!
