Vintage Gauge Speedo Indicator Lights at Night

[robmccon]

Hi all, I’ve searched the forum for this issue, but haven’t found anything. The problem is that when the speedo is backlit, the light “drowns-out” the turn signal and high beam indicators. Has anyone experienced this? For those with this gauge, is this what you see as well?

Do you have a dimmer on the gauge? In my garage when testing I noted that the full bright on the gauges are pretty bright. I added the Zero dimmer from speed hut since my gauges have the led back light.

I don't have the dimmer, I may consider adding it. I just thought it was odd that the indicators were saturated with the backlight. It may not be an issue, since I don't plan on much night driving :)

I think I put the gauge hands to power on with the key. The gauge back lights are on a dimmer.
This might help, with the gauge hands bright, the back light on dim. Hopefully the indicator lights will stand out more.

This seems like a good add-on. How did you end up wiring the dimmer? I looked up the instructions and it seems fairly straightforward—I’m assuming I can incorporate this into the supplied WAGO connectors?

That would work just fine on the output of the Zero Dimmer, just note that the dimmer is supposed to have an "always hot" power supplied as well as the key-on power. This is where I installed it. I got a busy dash compared to some others and did not use the provided connectors, but it works great, just have another button to put under the dash.

As others have shown, I purchased the Breeze dash support brackets and have drilled the holes for the remote buttons to be mounted there. I’ve spread them across the supports.
