                Just finished wiring it up today, the small symbols don't light up(oil pressure, AFR, temp and boost).

                        My center icons have always been dim also, only visible at night. I just thought that was how they were supposed to be?
                        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                          I will check with my engineer at VEI to get an update to the blank icons.

                          The icons with orange displays are as bright as that LED used by VEI can be. This brightness issue is specific to the orange LED and not the red and blue ones.

                          VEI is searching to find a new orange LED that can be brighter and when one is found I will work with them to upgrade existing vent gauge LEDs.

                            Just got off the phone with Neil (the engineer for DEI/PODI). Apparently those are illuminated in that picture, that is just how dim they are.... He said he is going to change a couple things in the gauge that will hopefully make it a little bit brighter. IMO those aren't illuminated in the pic. We'll see what the result is when it comes back.

                            Here is my issue with that. Where the picture was taken, they do not always look like they do it the pic. Some times they are illuminated. Hopefully they take care of this.
