has anyone replaced the guage bulbs with either brighter or colored bulbs?
the bulbs in my 1979 coupe seem dim to me and i would like to find something either brighter or easier to see. maybe im just getting old and my eyesight is going.
thanks

Your car has a printed circuit for the dash lights.  Possibly the connectors are a little dirty, or maybe your lenses are a little dingy.  Your lights should be fairly bright if everything is OK.

Good luck

One of the advantages of being a paid member is the SharkBytes newsletter.  There is an article about replacing the lights with LED's so that the dash is much brighter.  They weren't all that bright to begin with compared to today's technology.
