1965 C2 Corvette
Brighter Dash Bulbs

Part of my winter 2009-10 project was to install WhiteFace Gauges Overlays from Whitegauges.net I also painted the inside of the cluster a LITE GLOSS BLUE to both brighten and give a blue cast to the whiteface overlays. I also installed 1817 bulbs to replace the 1816's. The 1817's are noticeably brighter but also have higher amperage. I have a 100 amp alternator so the increase will not be a problem. 1817's can be purchased from Atlanta Light Bulbs

Note: I originally tried a few LED bulbs but they were, while BRIGHT, to directional and things look overall BRIGHTER with the 1817's which spread the light out more evenly.
