While we're at it, let's get the nomenclature correct.. It's not "bulb holder", it's bulb socket.. You're making good progress.. Using a small pick or screwdriver, gently lift the contact tabs a small amount on the bulb sockets and polish them with fine sand paper or a pencil eraser. Also, polish the printed circuit trace where the bulb sockets make contact with it. This will create a nice tight connection for the bulbs.. Just remember --- all the bulbs are not dash lights.. Some of those bulbs are for turn signal indicators, warning lights, and one is the hi-beam indicator.. Clean and polish all of them.. No telling how old those bulbs are.. I suggest you replace all of them..

You're doing good work.. When you get all the dash lights working, we'll move on to the next problem...
