NR auto' white face gauges and illumination
Gentlemen.I just installed NR auto's white face's on my instruments; because they lack specific cut outs for the warning lights they tend to be a little dim.( look great in day light when lights are out ) I was thinking of going with higher watt bulb ( 1.5 ) or perhaps LEDS.... to improve warning lights visibility ; looking to see if anyone has gone down this path already and could give me some advise...Thanks in advance Harry

I just went through this. Got silver instrument faces that didn't have the cut outs. Didn't like them. Couldn't see the warning lights very good during the day. The folks at North Hollywood Speedometer suggested a higher wattage bulb as a solution, but I decided that wasn't going to be solution as much as just less of a bad thing. So I was able to get my hands on the Porsche stock silver gauge faces that have the cutouts. Got them installed, and I am now very happy.
