Just a quick question. In my GTE the lights that illuminate all the instruments seem very dim. All the bulbs are working but the speedo, rev counter are still a bit hard to see. Is it possible to get brighter bulbs? It could be I've forgotton just how poor the lights are.

LEDs?

Available for standard dashes, perhaps same thing for digis.

Are the LED's a good job? Take it they're readily available?

LEDs in a nova aren't brilliant - you'll need diffused ones and even then they're not brilliant as the majority of the light output goes out the top of the bulb, not sideways as required in Nova dials.

Try replacing the bulbs with some more standard 501s...
