Follow Tom's clue. There are many posts several years back. Do a search on LED or some such thing. Some people were happy with the results. There are also threads involving putting some aluminum foil in strategic places to guide the light.

Anyone had any luck replacing the instrument cluster lights with some brighter LED lights or something similar?

I have a dim cluster and would love to brighten it, possibly in blue or amber?

    Rummage through the archives.  I believe that there was a line on this. 
 
    Think it through - LEDs are essentially low voltage, DC devices.  So a simple dropping resistor in series, should make an LED work in the existing set up, if you want to do a home brew. 
 
    If I recall correctly, at least a couple of the LED companies are now producing LEDs in different color and directionality specifications in the bulb packaging that the cluster illumination uses.
