My needles are getting hard to see at night. I can't see my fuel needle at all. Is there anyway to brighten them up?

Do you have the dimmer switch turned down? If you already have LED's, it should be bright. Unless you have cheap ones or they're burned out.

i looked closely behind the fuel needle and didnt see any light from behind it like the other ones. So i pulled the LED out and turned it around and bright as a star. Thanks for the help
