Illumimated Speedometer?!?
08/14/14 at 17:35:06
 
I have a 95 Savage and just started riding. I noticed the speedometer is basically invisible at night.

Is it supposed to be illuminated?

Has any one modded this with a mini LED or something like that successfully?

Thanks!  Grin

Crap. Well i am sure i hooked the electronics for the speedometer properly because everything else is fine. Must be the bulb then. Hmm...darn i left my repair manual at work. Gonna troll around here and see if i can find something in the tech section to help out.

Thanks for the reply!

They make some LED lights that fit the same socket.  Those might be a little bit brighter if you need more light than the stock bulbs provide.
