Happy Holidays, everyone.

I am seeing the same quirk you are, Chad. My ignition "on" bulb test glow
(for OP) is non-existent, though. I believe the OP light should glow with
the alt. and O2 bulbs when the key is turned to the "on" position. Any
simple suggestions out there for a rookie do-it-yourselfer with limited
tools/resources? (suggestions related to the solution of the problem at hand
:)  ) Would installing a custom oil pressure gauge, and forgetting about the
stock idiot light be cost-effective or at least close to genius?

Could the malfunctioning back-light of this same panel (HL, TS, OP, ALT, O2)
be directly related to the OP light problem?

Thanks,
Jeremy
