Got my dash lights working and they are bright! I just hotwired the two terminals that stick up on top of the light switch. Assuming the light switch is still in the car you connect the terminal that is closest to the dashboard and on the right side (of the car), that has three (I think?) wires hooked to it, to the other terminal which looks just like it and is on the other (left) side of the switch, and farther away from the dash. There are a number of other terminals: two that have threaded screws near back of the switch, i.e. farthest from the dash and two male terminals sticking up on the right side, a little closer to the dash. Sorry this is kind of confusing, just trying to explain it in detail for others' benefit. Ask questions if it's not clear.
By the way, while I was under there I noticed someone had unhooked the clock wire--probably because they weren't driving it very often and didn't want it to drain the battery. Hooked it up and it works fine, as does the cig. lighter and cig. ligher light. I think the only light that's not working now is the glove box light, and even it works if I give it a giggle! Also, I have a cool green glow for the hydramatic selecter. Fun to drive at night now!
