Instrument cluster lights

This is probably a silly question but:

Does the instrument cluster on a '69 F100 supposed to light up when I turn on the main beams?

It'd be nice to know how fast I'm going at night

Thanks.

Try turning the rheostat (****) on your headlight switch.

That could be your problem. The bulbs might be out, also. I just learned a few days ago that the dash lit up when you turned the ****, I'd been driving around in the dark for about a week, so you're not alone

Thanks for the responses.

I've turned the **** and it will turn on the cabin light (hah! You didn't know that did you? )

I'll check the bulbs and all this weekend. Fingers crossed that it won't rain....

Yah that one I knew. I could turn it all I want though and my light still won't turn on.
