Do a search on here for dash light problem solved. I tried many LED replacements and found the brightest one yet and they are dimmable. When your lights are on you can see each and every gauge easily.

I just ordered from Amazon. I will post my results after install.

I have this issue when it rains. Something is wet and when I turn on my headlights those lights come on. I have had the ECM re-programmed and still same thing. Still no answer

I have a 2017 Thor Challenger 37FP Gasser.Has right at 13,000 miles. On shutdown today, I turned key back on so wife could write down mileage. I had my foot on brake and the warning light with the electric lightening bolt came on accompanied by what seemed to be a rotating mechanical noise. There was a vibration through the emergency brake pedal at the same time. The noise would stop if I took my foot off brake or turned key to off. Any ideas out there?

There are two ways to fix this.

1. Replace the incandescent dash light bulbs with LED bulbs. and then run with the parking lights on. the problem with this is that the information readout dims when the lights are turned on.

2. You can add an LED light strip to the underside of the instrument cluster overhang. This keep the information readout at daytime intensity.

See post number 29 and post number 27 in this thread.
