Dash Lights
My dash lights on my 82 Vette are very dim, is this normal? If not then how can I fix the problem? Anybody have any suggestions? It is the whole dash, not just one area. Even the lights on my add on gauges are dim. The dome light is bright.
Thanks,

How bad is it Spike?
Are some gauges brighter than others?
My gauges are dim but when its dark out they are well readable
Not nearly as bright as a newer vehicle but bright enough
I dont think you want to tangle with the dash just to brighten things up a little bit.
Thats a place I dread thinking of, never mind actually trying to get it apart with out destroying something

Well
I can see all the gauges at night and all the gauges are readable and the same brightness. My mind tells me that it could be brighter. Your probably right, not an area that my knowledge needs to tackle right now.
Thanks again,
