I have a 2006 Tacoma with the TRD package and find the display for
both the clock and the outside temperature/compass hard to read during
the daytime. No lights are on during the day... I know that turning on
headlights will dim the displays even further.

Is there any way to make these displays any brighter?

Thanks.

In short no if you use higher wattage globes you risk heat damage to the
instrument.

Actually its the deep red color that makes it difficult for me to
read. If it was a green or white color it would be much more legible.
I think it's not the LED's themselves that are the problem, but the
colored panel that overlays it.

Personally I think its a safety issue. If I have to take my eyes off
the road longer to try to read the clock or temperature that could be
a problem.
