Keith,

Did you change out your bulbs for the oil and gas gauges?
These factory gauges are hard to see at night and I'm
curious if you or anyone else did something to improve the
visibility on those two.

I know the Tach and batometer should have ample lighting.

I found some new light sockets that fit the gauge housings, they came with brighter bulbs , it is much brighter.......(napa lights were replacements for a generic set of napa gauges just stumbled into them (old guy behind the counter thought they would work) and they did.......Kieth

Funky, I replaced mine with LEDs and they're very bright.

Hi AP the dash gauges are the original stock pod with a SW tach and a clock that came from Bob's Speedometer 3 3/4" and the under dash are a Auto-meter 3 pod oil,temp,voltage. The original stock pod just had gas on the left of the speedometer and temp on the right. Where the tack and clock on each side of the speedometer was a plastic blank that had to be cut out for them. If you need more info just give a holler...Vernski
