Default oil and battery lights

Hey guys ive noticed that my cluster lights on my battery and oil instrument side turn on and off when i go over bumps, i have to flick the cluster to turn them back on.

I believe there is only 2 bulbs over that side of the cluster, and it is random whether 1 or 2 go off at a time, but a general flick will turn them back on.

Does this sound like the bulbs are going down hill or is it something more serious to do with the cluster.

the rest of the lights work fine.


any advice would be awesome

cheers

will

Bulbs loose? Dunno, hopefully someone else on here could help, JC or someone else who has experience with these clusters?

The bulbs on my EB were intermittant before they failed. replaced them and haven't had a issue since so I would say they are just on thier way out.
