[s-cars] 2W IC Qs

[Paul Krasusky]

Gents-

Real exciting 1st day back topic for me here today:

I installed the donated Rossatotron Industries chrome bezeled IC in my hoar
this past week, along with the 2W bulbs (thanks Bill, Bob, etc.).  Ah, so
THAT's what a dashboard is supposed to look like all lit up and what not,
eh?  ANYway...

...I now get an undesirable "Halo" around the outer perimeter of some, not
all, of the gauges.  Some halo's are on the top circumference, some near the
bottom, some concentrated around the needle's circular base mount.

AnyANYway, I know someone here's likely BTDT to rid it.  Remove IC again,
remove gauges again, and maybe "seal" them to the housing?  Thoughts?
Upgrade to 1000000 candle power bulbs and fry retinas?

Also, I now, of course, am getting an ohsofun Chinesewatertorture clickety
buzzy rattle from behind there, ohyay for me.  Took it out, made sure all
was secure, still there.  Anyone else tracked it down?  I'm about to kick
the dog it's driving me so nuts.
