Another huge thanks goes out to the forum here as I searched, printed 10 pages & got to work on the instrument cluster. Painted the inside reflectors (gloss white), replaced the bulbs, soddered the two post together and eliminated the dimmer swith.
Wow! What a difference.....I can actually read the odometer numbers at night.
Who needs a repair manual with this wealth of information?

Thanks again,

Don
