#1 Brighter light for S1.5 Smiths clock
The Smiths clock in my 68 S1.5 is VERY dim at night compared to the other gauges. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it?

Have you thought of an equivalent LED from somewhere like bettercarlighting?

Yes. I'm considering a BA7s LED if it fits. I may just go with an LED light conversion kit from moss or something like that.

I replaced the bulb with an LED and problem solved. I will replace all interior bulbs with LEDs.
