Electrcial Problem, help please.
Soo, the idiot lights are always in on in my car, but very dim. The park brake on light, battery light, and sometimes my oil light all stay on but very dim. They fully light up when I turn the key on but when I start they car they all dim down. Any ideas? Also cant find the constant power, ignition on power, and ground wire for the stereo. Previous owner removed the factory one and theres just a hole. Think this could be connected? Thanks in advance guys. I'll add pics in a bit.
Knowing what the gauges look like behind the overlays, it's possible they are "dim" because another light behind the gauges is tweaked and shining to the side - giving the appearance of the lights being dimly illuminated. Are they all right next to each other? Is one significantly brighter than the others?

I'll try to check next time I'm out in the dark, but I'm thinking the same thing: light bleeding through behind the gauge faces from a nearby lit-up somethingorother.
This gives you an idea of how it looks behind the cluster. Let me know if this attachment opens.
Keep in mind that this was modified to include LEDs. The original cluster does not have LEDs behind it
