The standard bulbs have bluey/green covers on them, they are just like sidelight bulbs other wise.

Take the covers off = better brighter lighting.

Put the standard bulbs back in, without the covers. Unless you've thrown the bulbs out?

I had led's fitted, but got sick of not being able to see where the needles were pointing.
