With my lights on, I reached up under the dash and removed each bulb, one at a time. I could see a reduction in light as each bulb was removed, so the bulbs are all good.

I just got done disassembling my gauge panel, and I have found that the green paint on the reproduction lens just isn't nearly as good as the original at conducting light through the lens. When I shine a flashlight on the back of the lens tin, the original lights up brightly, but the repro is dim. I'm wondering if there are multiple brands of repro lenses and if some are better than others.
