Sometimes you have to pull the bulb out of the holder and refit it to clean the contacts on that, there are some links that might need soldering, going to have to look at mine soon as i've got 2 large and one small out on my cluster. Kind of annoying as they're LEDs and it's a pig of a job getting the cluster out and back in again.

Keep thinking about compltely stripping the clust and fitting some reflection inside it and adding some LED strips inside as extra light and loading on the dimmer although i can get mine pretty dim anyway.

Might do a few photos when i sort the immediate lighting problem in the cluster but that's a few days away at least.
Removed the bulb and teased the contacts. Replaced the bulb for a known working bulb and it still goes on and off when it likes. Sometimes when it's really cold it comes on when first starting in the morning and goes out half way to work. Other times it comes on when the car is hot when I'm nearly home ????? Very odd
