Default Is there a brighter version of the gauge...

bulb lights that screw into the printed circuit at the back of the cluster?

Whether I use the ancient ones that were in the car, or the new ones I bought, the light they provide is pretty dim. I am not looking to get blinded, but the contrast and readability between them (especially the clock and idiot guage) compared to the aftermarket guages is pretty significant.

The gen light, etc. that test at startup and at acc position seems a lot brighter as well.

Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"

You can buy LED lights that replace the factory bulbs.
