Electrical Winters Coming Soon

[Enzio]

One of the viewers of my YT channel commented that I never showed the LED light conversion at night.
Then I thought...heck I haven't had it out at night.
So I went for a ride around the block last night and made this short video.

I didn't hear any rattles!

Oh wait..... it's not my car, that's why.....
Freeway onramps are the best!

There are still a few. I've been slowly tracking them down. Hard to do when I'm hearing impaired.

Dash lights look great. I will have to do the same as mine are very dim even with a new switch and new 194 bulbs. I don't know if I cannot see anymore or if there is so much ambient light it looks dim. Back in the day they looked bright in my old II. Now days not so much.

I felt the same way until I upgraded my alternator. Guess I had so much draw from everything else that there just wasn't much current left to illuminate them. Everything seemed well lit the last time I had it running in the dark. Time will tell if that holds true....

@Enzio what bulbs are you using for the dash lights? LED? Can you still dim them with the light switch?

 

[Enzio]

LED and yes they dim except my switch has seen better days. So I'll go see Phil next spring to get a replacement. I'll see if I still have some left over and take a picture.
They were a 1 for 1 swap. And cleaning everything also helps alot. Gotta be careful of the little plastic blue domes on the guages. They want to fall apart immediately.

These are the lamps I purchased.

Many thanks for the info! I tried LEDs, but they are not dimmable. Thought there is no LED which has the function.
