Help needed. no headlights, no speedo light no nothin'!

Any help much appreciated. Just bought another Calibra. Been fine until the 2nd day, typical, eh!?

The headlights only work if I push the headlight unit in and hold it there squeezed a bit. Is any1 following???

and also my speedo light has gone out and on the other side none of the heater panel lights are working, aswell as the clock light and the actual clock has stopped working.

I've checked the fuses. What can it be? Could it be that the whole headlight panel that holds the switch, headlight adjustor, fog light switches needs changing? If i hold the panel in the headlights work fine, aswell as the fog switches, but the lights on the adjustor and headlight switch don't light up.

I'm confussled.

there is a big multi plug at the back of the headlight switch, and two smaller ones for the foglights switchs....could be they are not quite home

Cheers for help!

careful of masking tape, it can catch fire if it gets too hot, try using insulation tape!
