I ended up going to Wal-Mart and getting three different bulb sizes. Stock size is 194 which is 4-5 watts 908 is next brightest 212 is 14 watts 221 is HD version of 212 908/212/221 is larger that 194 and just touches the back of the speedo head. Ended up going with the 221 bulbs, I can SEE those gauges now! The dimmer control actually has some function now

What does that do as far as heat inside the cluster? Do the brighter bulbs fit inside the little colored domes on the interior of the cluster? Id hate to start melting stuff in there

What the Poster isn't telling you is he's 1/2 blind in one eye and can't see very well out of the other and has no business driving at night so the extra bright dash lights will only distract him from focusing on objects in the road. Ask him about the 67 Dart headers smacking into the manhole cover he hit one night or the poor little rabbit he took out years ago on I-95... Hi ya buddy Seriously, I really like the look of those LEDs in the pic above, very cool.

LEDs run much cooler than incandescent bulbs.
