    I just completed doing the whole dash conversion thing with everything working.....Almost. The 3 LCD screen at the bottom work ie show all the numbers ect but they dont light up the nice green colour. When i was testing the modified loom and had it roughly connected they worked but after i installed the loom fully they stopped working for some reason. Is it possible to short these lights out or something like that. Anyhelp thanks.

    Of course it's possible, They're LED's.
    Polarity matters with LED's also.

    Maybe if you have no fuses blown one of your wiring connections is a bit dodgy(to the grey wire)

    no theyre not LEDs. theyre normal globes. open it up and check that the previous owner of the dash didnt remove the globes
