    How To: Have faded fluorescent #’s in your instrument cluster?

    Hello all:

    Here's a fix-it guide for any one working on this project...

    I had a small little problem and it was a lightly faded "55" number in my binnacle that just bothered me... so I took care of it today and if you are too in need of some how-to here's a guide for you amigo (file is in .pdf format):



    Any questions, feel free to PM me or post'em here:

    P.S. This just a simple how-to guide and I'm not responsible for the outcome. It does require a steady hand so you may want to put down the coffee before you attempt this!

    Thanks for sharing! Wish I had steady hands. I'd certainly do this if I could.

    Good idea and nice to share. I don't solder fine pitch components until after 10:00 am because my morning coffee makes my hands shake. My D does not have faded gauges but my daily driver Malibu does. It drives me nuts also.
