    Dose anybody have any ideas about making my 69.5 Mav dash lights brighter? All the bulbs are working but high on the dimmer just dosn't seem to be enough. Thanks Steve Lonie

    thanks guys

    I'll try the 2825 bulbs. You guys are great! I knew someone here would know the trick.
    I should have my hood back on in about a week. I'll take some pics and post them. The car has been in the rebuild bay for several years now. Can't wait to feel those good vibrations from my hopped up 302. No sooner than when I get it out of the garage, I'm gonna start on my 72 Comet.

    Later,
    Steve

    Frank, Do you mean that I would put in a whole new white guage or that I would I replace the black face with the numbers with a white one? Some of the guys were talking about painting it, but wouldn't that cover up all the numbers? Or are you talking about painting the background or what?
