Brighter gauges for Mk1.



Well I finially got around to puting on the gauge faces I got from Brett
many moons ago and they came out real nice :)
The instalation was real straight forward thanks to the great instructions.

While handling the Speedo it occured to me that I could create a brighter
and more evenly lit gauge if I added another bulb to the housing.
After going through my parts bins I found another bulb housing/wire and went
to work instaling it.
Check out the link for details:

After installing the guage cluster back in the car (at night) I tested it to
see if there was a difference with the new bulb by  unpluging each one at a
time.
There was a noticable difference when both were on over just having one on.
It is kind of like having a speaker not connected, you don't notice right
away but when you find it and hook it back up you say...WOW! I can't believe
I didn't notice. (just did this in the Jetta, one rear speaker wasn't hooked
up).

Well, off to the wrecker for some trim pieces :)
