Dave,

My '85 has no cellophane whatsoever. All I get = is plain white light to the instrument panel. Perhaps your dimmer is at fault? You know, that wheel sticking out near the headlight = switch. If you have your dash lights turned up all the way, maybe it's not = letting enough juice through. Just a thought.

Chris.

Subject: Instrument Panel = Lights

I recently replaced the panel light over the = speedometer in my 85 Westy, but the dash lights are still too dim to allow one to = clearly see the dials. I noted that there is a piece of colored cellophane = (green, I believe) over the slot below the lamp assembly. Is this standard = equipment? It looks like I could get more light on the = instruments if I removed it.

Any thoughts?
