Hello to you all. Just wondering if there is anything that can be done to make the instrument lighting brighter (yes I know about the dimming knob). I have installed LED's for the blinkers, park brake etc... works great but the two big ones for dash don't reflect well (when using LED's) I was just wondering if there is any other solutions to get some extra brightness??
Thanks

I am using 12v LEDs and I have not had satisfaction with the light they emit. Very dim. Also put a smaller 5mm 12v in the clock to see how that went. Not as bright as a standard bulb. I bought premade LEDs from ledshoponline.com
As for MCD..... what is that??
