Dash Cover

Hi Everybody

I recently purchased a molded plastic dash cover from Cool Cruisers for my 1975 fj40.
I have noticed there is not a hole cut for the dash light.
Do you guys recommend trying to cut the dash cover so the light will fit or should i just doing away with the dash light?
The existing dash light is very dim and hard to see..
I just dont know if this will look trashy.

My dash light is useless. I would just leave it alone. no one is gonna notice or care if you don't have one.

Replace it with a L.E.D replacement bulb. Makes a big difference.
