| Dim bulbs. |

Over time, dash bulbs either burn out or sputter their filament onto the inside of the glass, thus reflecting the light back in and converting most of it to heat instead of light. There are maybe 8 or 10 bkaclight bulbs, all identical, in the dash, and replacing them will bring things back to original.
Looking at the old bulbs, you'll note they look silver coated - they should be clear glass.
The tail light might be a sputtered bulb, or it may be an incorrect bulb with a different filament brightness, but possibly the reflector has been deplated by the entrance of water corroding the reflector. You might need to replace the reflector (or maybe improvise short-term with aluminum foil, to get the light properly redirected out the lens.
Check to see that the bulb is a clear 1157 (I think), and that it's not jammed backwards in the socket making the dimmer filament work when the bright one is supposed to.
I don't know if the tranny lengths are the same between the C6 and MX, but the 31-spline tranny yokes are probably interchangeable between the two. I believe I have interchanged the yokes, but it's been so long ago, I forget the details.
JMO,
Shoe.
