Default Re: Dim dash lights

The glass side facing the inner part of the gages is probably foggy from years of being there. What I did to improve my 1946 original cluster was taking it apart, remove the glass a gently clean it with no harsh chemicals as the lettering was painted and if touched it chipped away. Then, I found out the internal housing was painted white , which was yellow due to age. I removed the paint and painted satin white and replaced the light bulbs with LEDs. There are LED that give you the origina incandescent look or the mordern bright white.
