Speedo needle not lighting up.

Half the Spedometer and the Needle don't light up anymore. So at night I don't know how fast i'm going. EVERYTHING else works fine, RPM, Oil pressure, etc. Actually now that I think about it, when my oil pressure gets to about 60-80 psi it goes wack. The needle flips out and goes way past 80. BUT when I give it the slightest amount of gas the needle goes back to normal. Any Ideas? I figure the Speedometer just burnt out a light or something but I can't figure out the oil pressure guage. The weirdest part is that it only does it sometimes. Like once in 3 days or so, and it will do it all day, only that day.

Change the light bulbs in the gauge cluster. That usually helps. As for the oil pressure needle, you're on your own with that one.
