Dash light questions
I am a true novice with my "new" '04 XK8 so be gentle.
First time driving it at night. When it started the lights for the tach were out and the 0-90 mph portion of the lighting on the speedometer was out. Once I got going the left half of the tach lit up but the 0-90 mph stayed out.
Also, the emergency flasher was dully glowing. Is that normal?
I assume the dash lights are out but halfway of the tach eventually lit up.
I did remove the dash to install RealGauge.
The wisdom of the elders would be greatly appreciated.

I agree it sounds like bulbs but they usually go off and that's it - dead. Some illumination coming back on has to be a bad connection in addition to one or more failed bulbs.
In any event, the IP is going to have to come out to check/replace bulbs but you should check over the disconnections and connections you made during the RealGauge install to see if anything is loose.
