Dash lights...

[pmar6004]

Now that I'm finally a Stallion owner, (decided to buy a used vs. waiting to buy new) I've noticed the dash lights that illuminate such things as the cruise control engagement and the overdrive disengagement are very difficult to read (tell if they are on) in direct sunlight. These "warning lights" if you will, are not as much of a concern as say if the oil pressure or the engine malfunction lights should turn on. Would anyone can to elaborate on this deficiency in the Stallions design and what could be done to eliminate the problem, such as brighter dash lights or possibly L.E.D.S.? The other concern is the reflection I noticed off the plexiglass faceplate of the dash, due to bright sunlight which makes just reading the gauges difficult. Other than the obvious, get a good pair of polarized sunglasses, any suggestions from the Stallion owners crowd, would be appreciated.

Your are correct reading the dash is a problem. The tack and speedo are large enough to read. I added a pair of led lights for turn signals along each side so my wife can see they are on. The rest she just moves around when she wants to see what they read.
