Default Re: 1935-1936 Ford dash light HELP

Adding to the 'not enough light' topic.

When working on gauges in a '35, I found there are slots/windows with plastic "lenses" that let the light from the bulbs which are outside the gauges, into the gauges. There was significant dust and grime on the lesnes (and the inside of the glass) that made the gauges hard to see at night. I was able to clean inside and the lenses with q-tips but it was tedious.

Someone on the Barn also suggested replacement plastic lenses could be fabbed from a green soda bottle cut into appropriate strips.
