[TR] leds for gauges and external lights TR6

[Brian Kemp]

Regarding gauges lights being dim - have you checked the dash light 
dimmer switch?  That was my problem years ago.  I twisted it back and 
forth a bunch of times and that fixed it.  It is a rotary rheostat and 
you may have some corrosion adding resistance.
