Is there any way to make the instrument cluster light brighter?
Mine is gs430 and the max setting is kind of dim, so wanted to know if I can get any brighter then the current max setting? I remember the old LS you can turn it all the way when you heard a click to make it super bright.

I would think a gs cluster would be much easier to see than an EK9 cluster. I don't see how you could come from a civic and think a GS cluster isn't bright. I know some people do have issues with their GS clusters. I think mine is plenty bright but I know in the past there's been issues where one of the circles is brighter than the other one and what not. Don't know if that's year specific or not.

My max looks ok now, but wonder if there's any way to make it a little brighter.

That's too much work. That's too emtreme of a mod for me. Can't afford to drive without my cluster for couple weeks lo.l

lol didn't mean for you to do it....they are prototyping it...so when they done u can send your cluster to them and have them do it and have it shipped back

No, I prefer them coming to my house and mod it for me lol.

anyone have the wiring diagram for the cluster?
all you have to do is disconnect that wire so it ceases to get any feed from the lighting sensor, then you can control it as if it was still in daylight mode (which is VERY BRIGHT).

You sure? Have you tried flashing a direct light at the sensor at night? The gauges become blinding!! (there might me some other issue with yours).

havent unplugged it....but during the day the cluster is in daytime brightness u know so i know what it looks like. if u drive under a bridge or a overpass u can see it flicker from daytime to nighttime mode. my nav screen does it also
