There are plastic eyebrow pieces with embedded leds that fit behind the
instruments thru the screw holes in the panel commonly shown at
Lakeland/Oskosh. And there is the florescent under dash lip strip that
is real nice. It is Commonly advertised as a retrofit for certifieds.
Have you looked at a stock Mazda alternator? Heavy but very durable, and
100A. It is my choice.
