Seems to be a pretty common issue on the ep3z... Well let's have hope on a solution to this matter... I'll mess around with the cluster and wiring this weekend... I'll let you know

Yeah mines been like that for months now. I'm not sure if you can just replace the bulbs or I read you have to solder something in the back of the cluster. So I just got myself a new cluster. Hopefully when I install it wont blow too.

My buddy installed an eBay foglight kit and ran into this. Swapping out the cluster did fix his problem.

I recall something about a burnt trace on the back of the cluster but I can't find it through search. GL

Theres a copper wire on the inside of ur cluster, it burns out, all u have to do is open the cluster and resodder a copper line back then ur done, i had the problem and seen the burnt line, have no probs since i fixed it

When you did the soldering, did you solder up the gaps or re did the burnt copper as well? Will a tin/lead solder work for this?

I got me a hairline copper wire and solder it from side to side and also solder the gap...
