Be careful... The instrument cluster is designed around a certain wattage bulb. Putting in a higher wattage bulb to make things "brighter" will run a good risk of melting your cluster from the inside out.
Just something to think about in your search for brightness...

The only thing you could do is remove the factory overlay and only have the flamed overlay on it versus the sandwich you have now.

Am I the only one who turns the dash lights DOWN?
I turn them off, they up until they just light up :D

LOL, I like to turn those things all the way down until it is just a little bit of light. Sometimes I go "stealth mode"
