I have Yaesu FT-8800R dual band transceiver with the head remote mounted on the dash. One major complaint is that the buttons and knobs aren't illuminated which, along with their small size, makes night time operation a bit dicey. I'd like to mount some sort of small light(s) above and facing the panel. It doesn't have to be very bright, just enough to show the white markings.
One thought is a couple of LEDs pointed toward the front panel (either red to sort of match the orange display or green to sort of match the dash lighting). Any other suggestions?
