Alternator OK. No Discharge Warning lights (Brake, Charge, OIL Level and Radiator) when engine off and ignition on. I know the bulbs are okay because they are very faintly lit and can only be seen at night when the engine is running. Headlights are not dim at all and nor is the illumination inside

The battery is not losing charge and the terminals are clean and tight so I think the alternator is okay because the battery never discharges. I can run the high beams and blower motor full speed and the headlights don't dim

I've had the bulbs in the cluster burn out after a failed alternator (2nd or third or forth.. there's been a few)

Cluster is easy to pull, but a box of 194 bulbs and swap all of the lights and cluster lighting too

I like to use 17177 bulbs. Wagner makes them and Rock auto is the best place to buy.

the 17177 bulbs are slightly brighter than the normal 194 bulbs. Great for increased lighting of clusters!

I "rectified" this problem by replacing the diode bridge....
