Yes, I know of this fix.  Great.
But it would be greater if I knew there is a tape that would conduct
electricity and with that one could just bridge the gap.
I'll keep on searching.

I know this is an expensive option but it fixes the problem.

As I get older I have continuing less tolerance for electrical stuff not
working and dash-warning lights and gauges not working especially drive me
crazy. This kit solves the electrical gremlins and the white LED lights are
awesome.

Hello all,

I wonder what’s the best way to fix the foil of the instruments.

I did once do careful soldering on it.  But I think, there should be some
more sophisticated way.  Maybe gluing with some conductor glue.  Or using a
tape of some kind.
So, let me know if there is one, please.  These foils are getting real old
and brittle.

Best regards to the most valuable List.
