    Dash lighting brightness...

    Why are the dash lights on my 89 brighter than the ones on my 85? This has always had me curious, lol.

    Any yes, both dimmers are adjusted to full bright.

    Is there some corrosion on the back of the cluster that is taking away amperage?

        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

          + some that are burned out...

          btw I switched out my headlight switch and it made them brighter, maybe the old one was getting all corroded inside or something?
