    Guage lights and Autometer lights not as bright as I think they should be

    My Guages and Autometer Guages are not seeming as bright as they should be with the brightness at full. Is there a known issue with these? Any idea on how to correct it?

    The only known issue with the illumination is a slight flicker at idle, which seems to be random. Have you looked an another Marauder to see if your lights are actually dimmer than normal?

    I never did convert yet but I plan on using LEDs for the instrument gauges and from what has been said/told these are much brighter while generating less heat.

    You might want to think about converting.

    BTW: different loads can be causing the instrument lights to dim and not be bright or a bad connection/ground....

    I can supply LEDs if you need them.
