The lights in my speedometer and tach seem to be a lot dimmer that the light on my raido???  I have no idea why.  I have changed bulbs.  I'm thinking that it may be the light swith and the reostat that needs to be replaced!!
DanLOL  What do you think Mr. EBO??

I have always thought that my dash lights were too dim in my '80.  I recently converted the 85 MPH speedo to a 140 MPH, so while I had everything out, I replaced all the dash bulbs to see if it would make a difference.  No luck.  I think that it is still too dim.  But it has always been that way, so I just live with it.
