Red face Dash Lights

Anyone know how to make my dash lights brighter? I can hardly see my gauges. Any info will help.

The problem is the lense over the light starts crapping out when it gets old and it doesn't let much light through anymore. My solution with the old guage cluster was to remove the covers and enjoy pure radiant white light. But if you want to get more ideas try these threads:

Also check your headlight switch and make sure that dimmer is clean. If its nasty or heavily oxidized it will only let so much voltage through. Mine was so bad it wouldn't let any through.
