How bright should gauge lights be??

If you haven't done the relay upgrade for the head lights yet, that will take a huge load off the light switch and one of the benefits is that the dash bulbs brighten. We have done 3 cars now and on everyone of them, the dash lamps are almost twice as bright as they were before.

Keep in mind that when you do this stuff or anytime your working with electricity, clean connections, good grounds and proper wire size is key. Check, clean and tighten everything while your doing the conversion

Good luck.
