Wow. I can finally see my gauges
After struggling all winter seeing my gauge cluster due to dim lighting, I decided to pull it and rebulb (had two blown bulbs) AND spray paint the interior plastic housing gloss white to help with reflecting the light on the gauges. Cleaned the bezel and even picked up a working volt meter at the local pick-n-pull. I could hardly believe how clear and bright the gauges are now driving at night. Total investment $10

Re: Wow. I can finally see my gauges
I just re- bulbed mine but never even thought of painting the housing. Great Idea. Thanks.

Re: Wow. I can finally see my gauges
