    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Need help with gauge brightness.

I upgraded all my cluster indicator lights with LED's, and they're great now. Can actually see them in the daytime!

Anyway, in contrast to that, the fuel gauge and speedo/tach gauges are abysmally dim. You can see them at night, but I'd like to hear if anyone has done anything to substantially increase the brightness of the factory gauges?

I tried replacing the stock bulbs with LED replacements, and that just didnt work out due to the narrow light distribution.

Any help here is great.

There are LED replacements that have a cluster of LED's fitted giving more intensity and also in all directions. They are shown on ebay. Give them a try. Otherwise grinding the top domed part of the led flat lets the light open up a bit.
 
If they are too dim, the electrical contracts are corroded. Clean every electrical contact, both the hot side and the ground side, and the stock bulbs will be bright enough for any condition.
