You are correct that the perspex should light up. If you remove the
centre panel of your dash you should see where a plastic bulb holder
snaps onto the back. You might just be missing the bulb(or burned out)
or the bulb holder might be tangled up in the wiring harness. The bulb is
only about 1/8" dia. X 1/2" lg.I believe the wire colours are red with a
white tracer. The bulb(not the holder) is available from Vicky Brit.
Hope this helps
