My blackberry doesn't have a flash for some reason.
The paint i used on the gauge cluster was Krylon Chrome. It has a chrome lid. I'll go get the exact name of it and take a picture of it if so desired tommorrow.
I used flourouscent orange paint and alittle paint brush on the gauges, thats in the artsy fartsy section.
These dash lights are 100 X brighter then they ever thought about being.

Where are you guys getting the bulbs? LMC?
I got the 168 and 194 at Autozone.
My biggest complaint with the dash lights was the contact of the sockets with the printed flex circuit. When some of the bulbs are not lit, the cluster will always be too dim. To fix this, I soldered wires between all of the back-light sockets. This way, as long as some of them are making contact, all of them are lit - and the cluster can still be disassembled.

ive seen that can...
i personally have never had an issue with my dash lights being dim...
I don't have any sorry. Basically I removed each socket (one at a time) and soldered 2 pieces of wire to the back of each terminal and then reinstalled the socket. The wires go to the closest neighboring sockets. The key is to get the polarity right on each socket (i.e. Ohmmeter) and NOT do anything to other bulbs like oil pressure, high beam, 4x4, etc. This must have been 5+ years ago and I haven't had a bulb out since.
