My Acura is wonderful but I'm tempted towards a newer car simply to bring the dashlight display into this decade. The lighting is just so dim and hard to see even with the dial turned all the way up. Is there anything I can do the improve the lights in to dash? I'm not interested in faux wood trim just better lighting.

thank you, Carol Ann Mendelson

Hi there,

with the age of the car i would say that the globes are just about shot, they do loose brightness over time, i would have the cluster removed and replace all the globes with new ones, this should give a better light.
