Will you provide details on the bulbs you used? I put LEDs in my car and they are brighter, but not like that.

Here are the bulbs I used:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794PFBHV As I mention, the lower speedo socket hole is too shallow for the above to fit, so I used one of these for that location: https://amzn.to/3Xa1Q44 Which ever ones you use, you want ones that have LEDs on the sides as it's the light from the sides of the bulbs that illuminate the gauges. LEDs tend to be very directional vs normal incandescent bulbs. LEDs use less power and put out more lumens with less heat than a comparable incandescent bulbs, so get the highest lumen rating you can find that are the same physical size.

One of my trunk rack knobs has very worn threads causes it to loosen up or not fully tighten at all. I previous drilled a hole through the end to prevent the knob from loosening completely and out. But I really wanted to address the core issue.
So I cut the shaft off, and drilled and tapped the knob to accept a new 3/8x24 piece of threaded rod. Which I then locktited in place. Worked perfectly! ![]() ![]() ![]()
