Default 1993 dital dash fading

I am a new owner of a nice 1993 red corvette. A few problems to iron out along the way. Main item:: digital is fading across the board. Hardly see the gas gauge. At nite tho, can see all fairly well. Comments on correction if possible or do I need to send it out for overhaul. I am in Tampa side of Florida if some knows of a place to repair. Thanks! L

Default Dark Dash

Is the dash faded or just hard to read? When I got my 86 the speedometer and gas gauge were almost impossible to read during the day unless the sun was behind me. I ended up finding that a couple of the dash bulbs were out so I replaced them (882 bi-pins in my case) and it made a world of difference. I've since found some bi-pin led replacements that are supposed to be plug-and-play, but that's a winter project.

Not saying you have the same issue, but it might.

My '84's design is different, but when faced with the choice of a replacement (Ecklers) or 'upgrade' to an analog dash and cluster, it was an easy decision from VetteAid (www.vetteaid.com)http://www.vetteaid.com

What mine looks like now:
