Default GSR Gauge Cluster Lights

The lights in my '95 GSR's cluster are really dim. I messed with the little dimmer knob, and even when it's on full they're really dim.

Like if I'm on a road with a lot of steet lights, I can barely see the gauges lit up.

Is there a mod or anything I can do so they're brighter?

if they're really dim, something else might be up...i guess the only way to tell is if you compare it to another stock integra. maybe they're just really dim and you cant do anything about it

I talked to a friend and he said it may be the dimmer switch. I'm going to see if I can pick one up from Acura tomorrow when I got for fluids and try to get a case of oil filters.

Are ALL the lights dim, or is it brighter in certain area's of the cluster? Did you check the bulbs?

If so, it is probably the dimmer switch like you mentioned.

It's the whole cluster that's dim. But the little lights for the brake, CEL, and stuff like that are 3x's brighter. I checked all the bulbs, and they're fine.

Going to get a new dimmer and see if that helps.
