Posted February 26, 201114 yr comment_347375 Anyone have any idea's as to why my guage lights are not working? I checked both the green/white and red/blue wires and both have power, tail lights and parking lights all come on, and bulbs are not blown. They were working about a week or so ago, and now nothing. I have a '77 280Z. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/38708-gauge-lights-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 26, 201114 yr comment_347381 Check the two plugs that are just in front of the console on the passenger side of the trans tunnel. I forget which of the two that the gauge lights go through but it wouldn't hurt to check and clean both plugs.

March 2, 201114 yr comment_347989 Yes, the Eiko A-72 works great. It's the only modern-day replacement that's available. There are no issues with the slightly higher wattage, and the fit is exactly like the OEM.
