View Full Version : Illuminating the Gauge "Labels" on Dakota Gauges

After bench testing the Dakota digital gauges in my 69 Camaro, I noticed that I can't see the gauge labels in the dark. By labels I mean "RPM", "MPH", "WATER", etc. I was thinking of using the factory gauge lamps and adjusting the brightness but I'm not sure if it would drown out the displays. I also thought about using a narrow angle, (spot) LED to illuminate each label individually.

Has anybody looked into this?

Did you wire in the dash lite circuit when you tested it?
