Lighting problems,,,I'm in the dark!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will having a few bulbs blown cause your dash panel lights to go out? I have some marker lamps and one park lamp blown. Also, recently purchase a set of 77-79 OEM hubcaaps for my 78 F150 4x4 that are as close to mint as I have seen for $76.00. Is that a good price or what!!!
Thanks for your help,
Barry

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Apr-02 AT 09:04 PM (EST)]I don't think that having exterior lights will cause you interior panel to go out, but you might want to replace the exterior lights to be sure, also you might want to do it for safety and legal reasons.
I myself had a problem with my dash lights not working - I kept blowing fuses, turned out it was a mis-wired ground in my aftermarket radio. So check your fuse panel for blown fuses - I've learned it is the best place to start when having electrical problems.
Also - the caps are a good buy alright!

The excellent price of the Hubcaps is causing the Lights to burn out !
How about that ?
*grin*
Because your marker lights and dash lights run through your headlight switch, I would suggest there is a grounding(shorting)out problem of the circuit.
Possibly the headlight switch itself.
Or possibly the instrument cluster printed circuit grounding out.
