If you can't get the back lights in the dash to work the first thing to look at is the dash light switch.

There is a separate switch. It is under the dash on a clubby. A round knob that you twist.

I found in my clubby to make sure the actual wiring loom plug is fully plugged in and clicked in place. If the circuit board is crappy you should change it as it will likely just cause issues down the track. If there is custom wiring by previous owners then it takes a bit of investigation

Some clubbys also have a seperate fuse for the dash lights which is usually hidden in the engine bay up under where the drivers wiper is.

so the signals work... do any others work? ALT light? or your highbeams light? above the fuel and temp?

Like the other's said check your light switch.. it is a round know you twist.. normally just right of the ignition, it adjusts the brightness of the lights on the dash... fiddle around with that to see if they come on.

otherwise you will have to check if you are getting power to your dash for the lights...

it's the red and white wire that goes into the connector plug (yeh?)

My money is on the light switch

It should be under the dash rail, to the right

Gotta turn it, mine turns one way for full, the other for off; If you go far enough in the off direction, it clicks and they on full brightness for some reason - Lucas.
