Unhappy Guage Light problem

I tired lookin for other forums but couldnt find sumthin like the problem im having. I just installed some fog lights into my Ti. But when i got them working i noticed that sumthing was different. Im not sure what i did or if a light bulb burned out but now the milage on my speedometer doesnt show up. I could barely see it check out the pic at the bottom. Has any one had this problem that can help me out. Thanks

Default gauge problem

Yea somethin lik that, but also where it marks your milage as well u kno right above the oil service light. The oil service light does come on when i turn the car on but the milage numbers aint showin is because of a light bulb or did i unhook a cable or sumthing?

My experience is that if a cable is unhooked, the dash will do what is technically known as "flip out." If it works normally save for the odometer, that's probably not the case.

There are little bulbs (1.2w, black base) that need replacing.


Did you install the green fog lamp indicator in the dash?
