Re: 72 gauge cluster light ?'s
If the bulbs you have in there now are size 194, you could try upgrading them to 168's. They're the same size but 50% brighter, and they're only like $1.70 for a pack of 2 at Walmart.
I upgraded to 168s and it made a world of difference.

Re: 72 gauge cluster light ?'s
I know this maybe overly simple but sometimes that is where the problems lie. Look to see if the hazard button has been pushed in. If it has and the hazard flasher is missing or bad that would do it

Re: 72 gauge cluster light ?'s
do you have to remove the cluster to change out the bulbs?

Re: 72 gauge cluster light ?'s
Nope. You can reach all of the bulb holders by reaching up behind the cluster.
All of the bulbs live in black twist-lock bulb holders, so just look up from underneath and you'll see them. Give them a little twist to the left and they'll come out.
