    My 67 newport dash

    I hate how dim my panel is and even tried LED bulbs still too dim. In the middle of rewiring the whole thing with a kwikwire kit and always looking at led strips rather than the current set up for the same reason haha

    Long story short, here I am with the blue, red, and a yellow wire to which I am unsure where they go. Blue wire I was able to find the end for. It loops the left to right rear lights connected and got my rear and brake lights back going. Since then my rear signals fail to signal and my dash...
