From all the ones I have seen--including mine. They all are dim. I even put led,s in mine and it helped very little. It was a waste of money and time. I just might try and re-wire mine. Both of my 78,s are dim too.. Maybe the relay is the problem?
Well I put a new switch ,cleaned (scraped off the paint where the grounds are) and put in new led bulbs(they barely helped). Then a couple of days ago. I took the connecting wired . That go into the circut board in the back and took some 1200 grits paper and cleaned it up real good and shiney. I hope it works. Then I won,t know if the China made light switch will be good or not. I guess if it came down to it. A person can make up some sockets and a seperate wire(s) panel for them.
Well mine are too. Their is a regulator behind the dash that MIGHT be the problem--not sure or not. I even put led bulbs inmine and you could barely tell the difference and I have heard they could mess up the cluste some how. I went ahead and took mine back out and replaced with original bulbs. I,ll try the regulator later on.
****
yes and I even replaced it and twisted the dimmer on it and still dim lights. I just might make up new wires for each bulb and see what it will do.
The first picture behind the dash. What is IVR--INTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR ? Maybe that goes bad and causes the dim lights?
How are you Miensk? Haven,t seen you in awhile. Hope everything is going good for you.
For starters when it gets dark. As you look at the instrument panel at night. Is their more light in some areas then others? If so--the areas that are dark could have the bulb(s) burnt out. These bulbs are easy to change. You,ll have to take the front parts off to get to them . Take your time and look real good and you can see what all needs to be done. Also to take the cluster section all the way out. You,ll have to also disconnect the speedometer and the electrical plug in. Un-- hook the battery before doing this . Just take your time and pay attention. If you have a phone--with a camera--take some pictures for your own reference. Its easy when you start on it--and Iam sure you can do it. Good luck.
If a person could get some good made parts --instead of this junk from China. We would have less trouble. I,m gonna try and go back to he junk yard before long and get some good American parts.
Yes, it has about the 3 or 4 new in in. Made in China junk. Most parts are made in China and its junk. . Same as our politicains--bought off buy them.
