brighter instrument display lights?

[rhino4]

I have a 1991 NSX that has dim instrument lightdss. The RPM and the Speedo are fine but the 4 guages on the side are to dim to see at night. Can I brighten them up? I have a illuination strip. I have adjusted the dim switch without satsfactory results.

You likely have lamps blown out.

Recommend all the lamps in the cluster to be replaced. I have used LED for everything but the general background lamps.

There are diffusion LEDs made and I would investigate those for the general background ones.

LEDs tend to be brighter, use less energy, and give off less heat. So your cluster will last longer without fading or getting brittle.

Thread 'Gauge Light Bulbs'

25 January 2019

Does anyone have a list of the part numbers and quantity for the gauge cluster? Google search wasn't leading anywhere and I know several owners have done this. I'm going to be sending my cluster to BrianK for cap repair due to the infamous brake light issue and thought it would be a good idea to replace all the bulbs after 26 years of use.
