im going to install an autometer cobalt series pyro in a cubbycam mount in the dash. how bright is the backlighting on these gauges? is it at all adjustable? i run my dash lighting at about 1/2 brightness, i hope its not too bright.

thanks

They wont be much brighter then this, the bulb can be dimmed if you get the power from one of your dash lights.
