Changing the Red Light on the Norge Speedo
« on: August 04, 2016, 03:45:34 PM »
Is there anyway to use GuzziDiag to make the illumination on the Norge Speedo much brighter, or even possible to change the color at all, or this light soldered onto the circuit board and impossible to get to?

Anyone done any modifications to the illumination for their Norge?

Go into the menu and pick 'Settings'. The dash has three levels of brightness.

Thanks Pete...I should have clarified further in my initial post.  I've got it on the brightest setting, was hoping to go past the factory settings if there was any way to do so...realize the chances are slim, but figured there might be a chance somehow with GuzziDiag software.

I used rubber washers and longer screws on the top of mine to tip it toward me. Makes for a lot less glare, reads somewhat better.

Time to visit your eye doctor, old man!  :evil:

:)  I got the idea because the LED lights I installed in the garage have 5 settings of dim, and the Norge only has 3, so I figured there must be a way to get the dash a bit brighter during the day.  Admittedly the angling solution sounds like the best one here...at night it's perfectly fine...

Now I wonder if I could find a Huckleberry light to replace the red one!  :)
