You have to replace the instrument cluster in most cases.
I have an 05 impala and had problems with the speedometer and fuel gauge. The only way to fix it was to replace the whole instrument cluster. Pretty easy to do, only took about 45 minutes.
Send the instrument cluster to Mr Whizard. You can finf him on Google. I had him fix mine 2 years ago and it works like new.
Replace resistors on Instrument cluster circuit board. $1.00 @ Radioshack and about an hour of your time...
well i bought new lights for my instrument cluster thinking it would fix the problem but there still dim
it is most likely a burnt out fuse, or the whole instrument cluster is shot. that happened to my 2002 impala. all gauges froze, and nothing worked. I would check the fuse first before replacing the entire cluster. Best of luck

To fix the light on the instrument cluster of a Mercedes SL 500, first check the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the instrument cluster. If the fuses are intact, inspect the bulbs behind the cluster for burnouts or damage and replace them if necessary. Additionally, ensure that the battery is in good condition and that all electrical connections to the cluster are secure. If the issue persists, it may require diagnostic tools to identify deeper electrical or software issues.
