The lights on my 90 Accord DX dash seem really low, even when the dimmer switch is turned up all the way. About as bright as those OLD Nokia phones with the black and green screen, if that makes sense.

Honestly, it's been so long since I've driven it at night (6+ years) that I don't remember if it's normal or not. It is uniformly lit, so i don't think a bulb is out or anything, but I haven't taken apart my dash so I don't know for sure. Soo....

Is is just me or is there a problem? If no problem exists, is there a way to brighten up the dash?

 

The dash lighting on the 95 is bright enough to comfortably read. Remember these are older cars that do not have digital screens for gauges or blinding LED lighting, which I find to be colossally retarded on a dash. If you can read the gauges easily then they are probably fine. If a lamp was out you would notice a dark patch in the dash.

 

LEDs in the dash is an upgrade, if done correctly. I did mine by wiring LEDs into the harness, not just swapping bulbs.

 

Or some of the "over head" dash bulbs are gone and need to be replaced. They shine down on the needles which then reflect the light off the gague needles and that, but if you are there and into it, LED's might be an idea....look from below the steering whel at the top part of the dash panel when the headlights are on and it is dark outside.....should see what I'm talking about.

 

Just replacing the bulbs may help - I've noticed in my 2003 Pilot and fiancee's 2007 Accord that just replacing some burnt bulbs were noticeably brighter than older bulbs.
