Early test of LEDs running at full dimmer brightness setting.  Later balancing illumination, while tedious, proved very effective.  Photos to come...

Meters seen for fuel and temp on test bench cannot measure resistances when operating, thus the -1 reading.  The toggle switch at right side disconnects harness wires to assess accurate POT settings.  Shown are single turn pots which have been upgraded to 10-turn linear pots for easier and more accurate readings.  The pots replace the thermistor and fuel level senders.

The dimmer is a 10-Khz PWM dimmer activated by blue 'LIGHTS' knob

Other push-button switches should be obvious.
