I would like to invite you guys to take a look into this thread:

WANTED : increasing instrument lights for all our "steam gauge" GA planes

Hi all! First of all, i´d like to tell you, i am getting older. Well, that´s not too “special” i think… My problem is, my eyes aren´t getting better either over the years. I am having more and more problems, reading the instrumens well. Depending on the current time and light situation, where and when i fly through the world, it may be hard or even harder to read them for me. Instrument lights make it a bit better for me, no question, but not enought. I very much love the mod for the …

I also have a hard time trying to read the instruments due to the sim´s light representation.

BUT: getting instrument lights MUCH brighter helps me dramatically.
So i created this thread, trying to collect info, how to make instruments brighter, including sample screenshots.

Maybe this is of interest for some of you too.
