Mine are pathetically dim. I seem to recall some DIY about removing the cluster and respraying the "chrome" back on the gauges...

That thread has the part number for lights. I need to do mine as well since mine are extremely dim. I can't even read my gauges at night.

Have a look at that.

I have chrome vinyl machine cut to fit if you don't want to mess with the aluminum foil.

Did this, works great!

Cool, thanks. I'll order some of those LED's and go to it...

I did mine with new bulbs and aluminum foil and it made a big difference.

The chrome-look plating on the light boxes was pretty bad. Came right off with laquer thinner I bought at a hobbly shop. Used clear double stick tape from an Office Depot to hold on the foil.

UV Leds make a hell of a difference if going that route. Need to get used to the ultra-bright Orange on the dials though

Are you going to change the warning lights? I'm not sure if it is worth the extra scrilla?

I used the 9X LED kit. I have used it for nearly 130k miles.

What does the 9x auto kit look like? Color wise and what not?

Jager Engineering has a picture and video of a blue LED to give you an idea of what it looks like. I love mine.

I just left the stock bulbs in, got rid of what was left of the silver paint using paint thinner (like someone else above did), and taped down some un-crinkled aluminum foil. Works great - gauges are now a LOT brighter.

I'm curious does anyone have a picture of all the warning lights lit up? I don't know if I have any burnt out bulbs? I'm trying to figure out if I should just replace them all while the cluster is out or just go the cheap route and replace the gauge cluter illumination lights and mirror stuff.

Additionally, what about the lights for the HVAC, etc? Mine are also pretty dim there...
