So after sitting in garage for 5 years - i drug it out with my truck - added a qt of oil, a new battery, filled water, new gas and it cranked right up. Bought 4 new tires.

I checked the lights and i have blinkers and hazards plus the four side lights are all working. I have one rear light working. So im in need of lights.

I dont yet know if i need a new headlight switch new or new headlights. If i need new headlights I am asking for recommendations on what type of headlights to get. Car is all original.

The dash lights dont work either and i am not sure where to find replacement or if they can be replaced. **note** i have another Cabriolet, 1991, that also has no dash lights. So any help there is welcome.

thanks for any input

for so many lights out it maybe a something common to all of them. This calls for you to use a VoltOhmMeter to locate the problem.
