for the lights its probably the constant wire. had to rewire mine. You can check by just running a wire from the back of the climate control where the light is to any constant slot under the dash to the left of the clutch pedal. If this doesnt make the lights work then pull out the cluster and check the red fuse.

It should be a little tough to pull out. Take two hangers and straighten them out and make a hook at the end. Have it 90 degrees and just over 1/4 inch long. You will then be able to slide it on either side of the IC and then hook onto some part of the cluster and be able to pull it out.

you push it out from the back. and you can either undo the speedo cable before or after, just gotta get under the dash and remove the piping to the far left vent.
