Anyone have any recommendations on enhancing the lighting on the dash instrument cluster of gauges? It’s always been poor. I’ve pulled the gauges and all the bulbs are working. The reastat knob is working I can dim it to nothing and see it increase. But it’s not bright at all.
Suggestions / recommendations? Tks

There is discussion (today) on the following thread regarding instrument lighting. Look at the end of the thread (p3) for lighting talk on the 911-style replacement bezels that Tom is making.Royhaberman wrote: Fri Jun 23, 2023 10:52 am Anyone have any recommendations on enhancing the lighting on the dash instrument cluster of gauges?

+1 for the carmagic LED lights. They have a two different color options, I went with the vintage white and its a huge improvement over the originals.

Thanks for the feedback. I chose the vintage look over the white. Just haven’t made the time to put them in
