Problem # 2: Some of my instruments are lit by post lights in the corners of
the instruments, but most are in the dark except for an instrument light trying
(to little effect) to shine on the whole panel. I envision some sort of little
flood lights mounted on the glare shield (mine comes back about 6" from the
panel) of my Velocity that would be simple, small, adjustable / aimable, easy to
retrofit and red. Anyone have any suggestions? Would some sort of LED array
work? How much would variable brightness complicate things?
Embed a bunch of cheap, Rat Shack, red LEDs in a block of epoxy goop. Control the brightness with a rheostat. You can mount them on a IC board, tape the board under your dash, wait for night fall and aim one LED on each instrument. Then cover in epoxy and put it back. It's so cheap, if it ever burns out just make another.
