Brighter Instrument Lights?
« on: August 03, 2008, 03:49:50 PM »
There used to be a post where a guy brightened his instrument lights by painting the back of the bezel or something. Anybody know about it? I tried a search..

The LED's seem to dim after time but a lot of people think reflective paint helps. I tried it once and didn't think it made a huge difference. I like the digital gauges personally.
