Hi,
The fuel gauge light is not coming on when starting the engine and switching headlights on. Always off. The lights for the rest gauges on a dashboard (speed, rpm etc) are fine.
I just wander that what, each gauge has its own bulb or capacitor?
I think I could live without that light coming on if it's an expensive and hard procedure to fix, so I appreciate your advice/shared experience etc.

Many thanks,

George.

Oh yes, and the auto is 1992 535i, manual.

According to some the lights aren't replaceable. However, this site might help http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/maintenance/electrical/capacitors.htm
