    the stock light is not strong enough to light it up

    I once opened the Meter ...it has very special type of Bulbs but again i have seen ppl fitting LEDs ..i showed to my Car Electrician he said there is no way to fit LEDs in it....(Actually they do the work in which they have lil thing to do )
    So If i Fit These Dials What u think Light will pass or not?
    Wait i ll post my Meter Pic in Night.

    Re: Meter Dials Help.

    ok i need to know what you mean by meter are you trying to change the stock gauges or are you doing some aftermarket one

    leds are able to be placed in the bulb holders of the stock and have been done

    still then the light will not be bright enough to go through the paper
    your gona have to light it up form the top

    and then its gona light the whole thing up
    you can also look for the revers glow gauges like mine
