Roofman:

The only downside I can think of is
you will burn out your bulbs much faster
and they are a pin in the butt to change.

If you are going to remove the rheo why not
install a flush mount toggle like in mt dash?

Or will you keep the rheo for it looks?
but not functional?

If that's the case, wire a toggle switch
under the dash.

Roofman,
The dashlights get power from the solid red wire, which is "hot" when the parking lights or headlights are on. The red with white stripe wires go to the individual guage bulbs.

That is a nice dash, Tinster - good grain and even finish.

R-man - what part of the Palmetto state are you in. I'm from Columbia.

im sorry but that is not a good look in my opinion
different coloured needles and pointing in different directions different fonts on the guages
the faces sitting proud of the dash
its just all wrong in every way..........sorry
