    Hi All,
    When driving into the sun and with sun glasses on I have trouble seeing the speedometer on my 2015 Tacoma. It's been the same since I had a 2006 as well. What I am looking for, I think, is some LED lighting that that will brighten up the speedometer display. Any ideas, solutions out there.
    TIA,
    Rob

    On increasing the brightness, oh yes, it may be me, but I need much more than the back lighting on the gauge. This is with wearing polarized sun glasses. Thanks for the replies.
