[QUOTE="Coda, post: 624279, member: 31747"] I’ve got the same issue with my oil temp gauge. Two solutions. 1) use a lower wattage bulb, or the same type as the others but you’ll have to jury rig a holder (got a 3D printer?) 2) cut one of the wires and add a resistor in line. Problem is that you’ll have to guess the value to get the brightness right (trial and error) and you can’t use common 1/4w resistors cos they’ll burn. Oh 3) you maybe could paint the bulb with some white paint (or maybe off white if you also want to colour match) [/QUOTE]
