Montero instrument cluster bulbs, diffusers
It is difficult to read the gauges at night on my 2005 Montero, so I pulled the instrument cluster. Several of the bulbs seem to be specific to certain warning lights, but the ones with a blue base (I think they are Type 74 bulbs) also have a rubberized blue diffuser (condom) over the bulbs. I assume this is to give a muted backlight to the cluster. I peeled off one of the diffusers and wondered if I removed all of the blue diffusers whether or not the lighting would be too bright. Unfortunately, I broke the bulb and am waiting for Autozone to get the replacements. Has anybody tried removing all the blue diffusers?
Thanks
