The car has dash lights and appear to change with restat, but the letters in the cluster dont seem to light up. The actual needle lights up and changes with reastat but you really cant see how fast you are going because the numbers arent illuminated. I have removed the cluster and found about 14 lights that are all labeled for specific warning indicators and such. In the wiring diagram that I looked at it shows all those indicator bulbs and they look like the normal bulb you would see on most diagrams, but for dash illumination they show a symbol I am unfamiliar with. Do they have some means of illumination besides the normal bulb you might find in every other car.
