Default Any suggestions on how to brighten up my speedometer lights

Everything on the dash seems so dim. Maybe it's just the era of car. My newer cars dash lights are so bright I have to turn them down.

Just take out the light filter under the top of the cluster housing.

i don't have any pics, but if you remove the cluster cover, ontop of the guage are two screws where the lights are.. stock there's a dark amber cover, you can grab the cover from a DA integra (90-93) that isn't amber (it's blue) and isn't as dark as the EF one, as seen in the picture above..

i just took mine out and put some orange film there instead..
