[Healeys] For Want of a Set Screw

[Bruce Steele]

Oh, that’s normal!  The safety and fuel gauges’ bulbs are external to the gauge, so they throw light everywhere.  When I rewired the car, I used LEDs for the instruments and have 2 bulbs on the safety and fuel gauges, plus I have an ammeter under the heater control, also with 2 LEDs.  You could read a book in my footwells!

My 'panel' lights do a better job of illuminating the footwell than the panel.  Anybody else have this, or have I done something wrong?

actually on a dark country road at night, it's often a bit more fun to shut the panel off for the drive.

That’s what I did, though I anguished over the decision and I so often find myself wanting to turn the dash lights off.
