Check your fuses -- do your brake lights work as well, i think they're on the same fuse... not sure Don't worry about the light staying on when you're at school --- i've done that with my parking lights a couple of days and it starts up fine (and your interorior light is tiny), it doesn't take mach for VL's to catch Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Take your dash odd and unscrew the little bulbs and check if they are all blown. If you need help ask me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All the bulbs won't be blown and I doubt it's a fuse. Try giving the top of the dash a whack when your headlights are on. This often fixes gauges and dash lights that aren't working.

Check your dimmer switch (eg. take it out etc.) Trace wiring from fuse box through to dimmer and into dash (this is tricky, takes time but yeah) if you can get hold of the wiring diagram for the dash lights setup then it makes it a lot easier, you can get this from the manual...
