Post How to make gauges brighter?

It's about that time for me to strike again, just wondering how we can reach behind the instrument panel and yank out the bulb. Can we replace the bulb with another color? Just a thought.

Kind of a major job to replace dash bulbs on many cars. Haven't seen your gen 1 TL, but I'd bet it takes a couple of hours.

Me? I'm waiting for indiglo gauges, yea baby!

i did it on my accord and it was pretty easy .. the bulbs were those "superwhite" or whatever the hell they call them which means that its a bulb painted blue .. so while it did make the gauges somewhat brighter, they are now a bluish color .. which i thought i'd hate more than i actually do its not bad.. blends in with my radio and such
i actually wanted a brighter whiter bulb .. so if anyone knows, lemme know too!
