i got the hud up and working again with repairs to the tcu and the cap fix, but i still don't get dash lights.

WHAT VOLTAGE do the dash light bulbs use? is it just a normal 12 volts? i might just splice in a 12 fed off the headlight switch if so, so i can see the other gauges at night.

ARE THE DASH BULBS WIRED IN SERIES?- ie the christmas light effect, one goes out they all do...

the clock lights up when the lights are off, but goes off when the lights are turned on, that's my only real clue, the dimmer switch dimms and brightens the hud just fine.

haha, just reinstalled and everything worked for a split second, i think i have it figured out, thanks to smt i'll be jerry rigging the circuit board, i'll take pics and upload them, and do a formal write up to help everyone else with this problem.
