Dear List,


Thanks to all who suggested replacing the headlight switch in order to
brighten the dashboard display at night. I have improved my situation
significantly by exchanging my original switch for the one that was in my

parts hulk. Before installing that one, I brushed out the dust and sprayed
a little electronic cleaner on the rheostat contact. Now I am going to
fashion a little wooden wedge to keep the adjusting wheel from going
anywhere but the maximum brightness setting. I am guessing a brand new
switch would yield even brighter gauges, but I am settling for this free
solution for the time being.


Woody
