Instrument panel lighting, can it be bettered?
Ok so a big pet peeve of mine ever since I bought my C5 has been the gauge backlighting. I have done all the interior LED mods and everything else looks awesome now. However the actual gauges themselves have left alot to be desired.
I know the factory uses uv light tubes to illuminate the gauge text. My question is has anyone out there found a way to make these glow brighter or more evenly? I'm considering ordering some sort of LED UV strip and finding a way to retro it in for more light distribution. Anyone else tried this? Any thoughts or ideas?
