I have an 85 coupe that suffered from the same problem. The rsult was having to pull out the cluster and ship it off for repair ($350). DJ I just bought a 1987 Corvette Coupe and had the the same problems with the cluster. Only half of the panel was lit up but the gauges worked. I found a website called Mr. Whizard Technical Services out of Winnipeg Mantoba that was great to work with. On the website there are instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster yourself and instructions on how to send it to them. They sent a UPS pickup label prepaid and had it repaired and sent back to me within a week. They fixed the cluster so it looks and works like new again with all the color displays and lights working and they did for only $200.00 a lot less than anywhere else I found. They did what they promised and on time. I recommend them to anybody with an instrument cluster of any make of auto. This is my first Corvette and am waiting for summer to have fun.

UPDATE I am currently having the same problem with my 1988 35th Anniversary. But...This is not the first time, I've seen it happen 2 times before over last few years. It usually goes away, so I believe its a short or bad connection. Tends to do it more in the summer when its hot (Arizona). I am currently working on this issue.

How do you replace the HiBeam in a 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas?

you start by removing the chromed Ring which is held in place by 1 screw at the top center; then you remove the Inner screws which hold the black ring to the headlamp Bucket, which holds the headlamp in place; WARNING: do not confuse these screws with the headlight Aim Adjustment screws which you can identify by a white plastic spacer and Spring behind them. do not touch those. Once the black ring is loosened and removed, the headlamp will tend to fall off, so keep your hand in front of the glass lamp. Pull the glass headlamp out from the Bucket, then disconnect the Electrical Plug from the rear of the headlamp, get the new replacement, re-connect the Plg to it, then reassemble both rings in reverse. this applies to all 4 headlamps. Same procedure and warnings apply.
