    The white definitely helps, and also throw some LEDs in there and it is super bright.

    I'm scratching my head at just what kind of kludge you have, dash lamp fuse is supposed to be 4 amp, larger amperage fuses won't fit in it's place... Headlight protection is circuit breaker inside switch...
