Here I'm having this weird problem/conflict between my lights and water temp. and oil press. gauges as I describe next:
When I drive the car with the headlights off the gauges read some positions but as soon as I turn the headlights on the water temperature and the oil pressure gauges jump higher about one full line. Turn the lights back to off and the readings drop.
I also have to add that after running my ride and as soon as I turn it off and leave the head or parking lights on, the water temp and oil pressure gauges rapidly swing all the way up until they hit the stops. Turn head and parking lights off the gauges start moving down slowly, this happens only when the engine is warm. So this is what it does.
"Engine ON (cold or warm) lights OFF gauges read normal"
"Engine ON (cold or warm) lights ON gauges read one segment higher"
"Engine OFF (warm) lights ON gauges UP"
"Engine OFF (warm) lights OFF gauges down"
"Engine OFF (cold) lights ON gauges down (normal)"
"Engine OFF (cold lights OFF gauges down (normal)"
Any ideas????

Has anyone did any dash lights upgrade on a'90 GT? for some reason it seems to me that the lights on my dash are a bit too dim and I don't think the dimmer is the problem.
I would like if someone knows where to get extra white light bulbs that fit the dash to replace those yellowish bulbs as an upgrade. Some time ago I bought a couple of bulbs that had really white light but can't find them any more. I don't want to use white faces on the gauges simply use white light bulbs (like LED's light type) but I can't find a site to buy them (if they exist).
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Nick
