Gauge lighting question
Hi there, I recently bought my first car, a 90 Iroc, and have slowly been trying to bring it back. One of the things I've bought is some reverse glow gauge covers. But as it stands right now (without installing the reverse glows), only half of my tack lights up. I was wondering if I should go through and replace the bulbs in it, or if it is a fuse problem. Tried to search but I'm a n00b 
Thanks alot in advance

On the 90 clusters there are 4 bulbs that light up all the guages, looks like one of them has blown out. If your installing the reverse guages, I don't think you will need to worry about replacing that bulb. If it was a fuse problem then none of the bulbs would be working, nor the cig lighter.

I installed reverse white face gauge covers and left the blubs in that was a mistake. The stock bulbs interfered with the appearance of the reverse glow.
I soon began to hate the reverse glow and removed them. I'm going to use the stock lights with colored blubs instead.
