I'm aware that the lighting of the instruments leaves something to be desired. However, I think I must be doing something wrong. I installed a set of led lights on the gauge/speedo cluster. I wasn't impressed with what ever improvement there may have been. I plan on looking into grounding and possibly the dimmer switch to improve that issued.
The problem I'm trying to sort out now is the center gauge lighting. I installed two new type 194 lamps, oem style. They appear to put out a good amount of light. When I placed the bezel on the pod, I could see no lighting of the gauges at all. I had my hands cupped around a gauge and peered through my hand and saw no light. With the amount of light being put out by these bulbs, I should see something. I can only see one way that the pod assembly, gauges, and bezel can be assembled. I must be doing something wrong.
