Re: Dim Dash Lights

Check the voltage between the leads for the lights. Using the same ground that the lights use. Thinking you might have a bad ground given that you get a full 12v out of the headlight switch.

If you do go LED, be aware of light temperature (color). Incandescents are usually around 2700-4000k and give off a more yellowish light. White LEDs will go up to 6500K. These are the really bright white lights. The color may look odd in the old dash.
