Still having trouble with the right side of the instrument panel on my 35 pickup lighting up. The bulb works fine. I have tried a bigger bulb and got no real results. No room for bigger one. I have twisted the bulb holder to where it directs the bulb over closer to the gauge and green celluloid but it doesn't help.

I got myself into a position under the dash and on the floor to where I didn't think I was going to be able to get out, but I finally made it. I am getting too old to work in those tight places. LOL

Anyone else had this trouble. Left side, fuel and oil is fine, but ammeter and temperature side has practically no light. Speedometer lights up just fine. Posts on speedometer body are in proper place so it isn't that.

All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
