i posted a few below asking how to brighten the dash lights too.
i haven't tried the suggestion of the 194R (amber) bulbs or regular 194 bulbs (clear?).
I did take apart the dash and found all the lights in working order. I removed the orange bulb condoms and they are now a little brighter, barely enough for me to notice.
I'm thinking it's not the lighting but that white gage faces provide horrible contrast. If the black painted trim around each of the numbers was a little thicker, it might be easier to read at dusk, etc. And brigher bulbs will just give us night blindness. if/when i get around to trying brighter bulbs i'll drop an opinion.
