I have 2 ideas: be more specific, and do a search and find 100s of posts about dash illumination problems and fixes.

I turn on the headlights and the dash; speedo & engine gauge panel dosen't light up. I don't know if its one or several bulbs. I don't know where the bulb(s) are. i.e do you need to take out the whole gauge panel or is the bulb somewhere you can get to and replace. I don't know how much more to explain this. When you look at the speedo at night you can't see it. I don't notice if this effected the radio illumination everything works except the light.

Uh, they are bulbs in the 300E and other 124s. Two to be exact, type 194 I believe. If you pull the cluster (which can be done in 5 seconds by someone with correct tool, two little hook things) both bulbs can be changed in about 10 seconds, they are in twist in/out brown plastic sockets.
