Well what I dd was go get some LED lights from Nuts n Boltz, those are nice and bright and don't heat up. http://www.pros-pick.com/licenseplatelights.html ...
Hi Mike, Perhaps the newer style dash may help. I believe Dave Richardson suggests this as well. The indicators are larger and the dash has different icons. ...
