Default Dim Dash Lights
I can barely see the dash lights in daytime (turn signals, neutral, high beam, oil, etc.

Is there an after market fix for this? LED?

A bit more information on what you have (model/year) might help.

I had the same problem with my Heritage.

I took the dash off and washed the inside of it thoroughly with Dawn dish washing liquid.

Replaced all the bulbs with new ones.

Resembled good as new and hardly cost me thing.

I was going to do that, but my results were so good that I didn't feel a need to go that route.

I have all my other lighting LED, if you are interested in finding out about that.
