Dash light illumination again...

So for the past year the dash light illumination on my '89 SPG has been spotty. With it getting darker earlier sometimes driving home I have intermittent to no dash lights. I've changed the bulbs and holders, pressing on the back of the bulb and film helps sometimes. I was getting ready to do the led light fix when I thought about bending the metal prongs on the light bulb holders just a bit to create more contact with the film. Twisting the bulb holder in is a lot tougher, but I found it fit into a 12mm socket and I could carefully tighten it with a 1/4" drive ratchet. It worked! I've got consistent dash lights now. On the '89 the dash lights are on all the time but you cannot tell during the day. At night it makes a big difference. I still may do the hard wiring of the led lights, but for now this could be a quick fix for some people.
