I put the GW harness on my A’wagen a few years ago. I love everything about it except the price. The illumination bulbs are LED bright white and they make all the instruments much easier to read. As far as “non-adjustable,” they dim with the rheostat just fine. I think that painting the needles orange would improve it even more. Other than a couple “you could have explained THAT a bit better”s on the instructions, I’d give it a solid 5 star review.
