Tip #1- to improve interior lighting.
Ordered these on ebay, very inexpensive. 5 bucks for 20 bulbs. Very bright. Took about 10 days for delivery.

20x White T5 1-SMD LED Car Wedge Dashboard Light Bulbs 2721 74 17 86 85 #R17

Bulb style looking.

They only work in one direction, may need to be turned 1/2 turn to get correct connection. I installed them in small gauges and I am very pleased. Will install in temp. Control area soon.

Has anyone used the newer "SMD" computer chip looking lights?



Tip #2 - for brighter dash lighting I unplugged wiring (2 plugs) at dimmer dial and connected the 2 plugs directly together. Much brighter in general. I have never used the dimmer dial anyways and never saw the need.
