[QUOTE="whiplash306, post: 10194100, member: 33984"] Man, I'm sorry guys. For whatever reason, my email notifications aren't working, so I'm not sure when there's been updates to threads I've either started or am participating in. I did call and spoke with Aaron at Speedhut. He's a totally cool guy who spent a good fifteen minutes on the phone with me. First, it's important to know that my setup is connected through the dimmer switch so that the gauge lights can be adjusted brighter/dimmer along with the dash lights using the factory dimmer nob. Long story short, there is no way to adjust the lighting by making some random adjustment(s) to the gauges. Unfortunately, from what Aaron said, it's not uncommon for the dimmer switch to be supplying only 8-10 volts of electricity vs. the 12 volts that the gauges are supposed to be fed. As a possible fix, he suggested I should disconnect the connection point of my gauges from the dimmer and instead, connect them directly into the lights. From the sound of it, this would be my most likely full 12 volt source. However, if the above did not work, there is a separate dimmer that can be purchased through them. I honestly forgot the price of it, but I don't remember it being much. Honestly, since speaking with Aaron, I've been unable to take a volt meter to my gauges, so I don't know (exactly) what they're being fed, power wise. Work has owned me. So I'll have to wait until a later time to deal with this issue. I believe we clipped the white wire behind the gauges to get the pointer light off. I'll find out for absolutely certain (hopefully tomorrow) and let you know. I tell 'ya though, if the lights were just a bit brighter, I swear these gauges would be OEM look....! Sorry again for the delay in response guys..... Now, if y'all could just help me a bit more with this little jewel of an issue: [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/engine-tuning-214/734091-long-drive-hot-start-car-dies-every-time.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
