As far as I know, the cluster lighting problems are separate from the leaking capacitor problems. Might want to shoot an email to Tanin and see what they say. I've never seen that problem before lol

I had this happen to me way back in high school and it turned out to be a bad fuse. Check and see if your front marker lights and tail lights come on when you turn on the headlights. If they do not and only the headlights are lit, then it is a bad taillight fuse and you can easily replace it yourself. If they do come on, then it's likely an instrument cluster issue as you already suspect.
