Default Dim Dash Lights

The Lights On My Dash Are Very Dim.
I Adjusted Them To As Bright As Possible And They Are Still Very Dark.
There Arent Any Bulbs Out, Just Very Dark
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Do a search. Common issue. Bulbs are fine, it's the reflective material in the cluster. Easy to replace (scrape it out) and put aluminum foil (or other reflective material) there. I did that to mine, and replaced the bulbs (because I didn't know their age) with the same wattage bulbs) and they are very easy to see at night.

There is a great site that details many of the common items 944 owners will face, http://clarks-garage.com/. You'll find that it is a wealth of information and instructions.

Clark's has a good writeup about instrument cluster lights here, http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/elect-08.htm.
