Bud,
Sometimes the rheostat can be cleaned or repaired. If you pull it out, it
should be apparent what needs to be done. The best thing to do though, IMHO,
is to just bypass the whole thing. Remove the wires from the back and connect
them together. At its very brightest setting, on a perfect rheostat, the
gauges are still way too dim.
