How To Restore and Detail an Original Gauge Cluster

Aluminum tape inside the tubes will melt the high beam lens if you live out in the country and can drive for a while without meeting oncoming traffic to dim your lights... I found out the hard way when my dash started smoking late one night. The stock bulb in the stock tube is plenty bright enough to indicate that your high beams are on, so it's not something I would recommend. Should work fine for intermittent use lights like the turn signals, but not steady on use.
