My Guage Cluster lights arent very Bright...

So as stated above, my guage cluster lights are not that bright. And yes i have the Dim turned all the way up. I have FEED tach/speedo, so when they were in there they might have not put the bulbs back.. or they are just burned out. Where do i get new bulbs for my guage cluster?

probably either burnt out bulbs or the wrong bulbs (many people use 194 bulbs instead of 168- 3 watt vs 5 watt bulbs)

Even if all the bulbs are working, if they're the original ones they'll be quite dim just due to age. Over the years they form a silvery film on the inside of the glass. You'll be amazed at the difference just from replacing all of the bulbs with new ones.
