Useful comments and observations from all so thanks to that. Have not looked at the instrument bulb locations yet, so if one goes down the higher wattage bulbs route does there appear to be enough air space around the bulbs and holders to be able to rule out melting plastic, a fired up Marcos etc.

Of course if we are talking of only six bulbs at 5W each that's 30W/12V i.e 2 and a half amps, so that is small cheese or only about an amp more than the dim ones, so 1 amp extra should have minimal impact electrically on fuse or wiring to the bulbs, so if fuse goes because total load is already at 100% then replace with next level higher rated fuse. In the unlikely event that the wiring to the bulbs equates to a human hair i.e it can't support an extra 1Amp then you might have to double up on the wiring to get over the problem.

For the higher output bulbs solution the undesirable effect of increased heat may be the only problem, in which case an LED solution will be the only answer because low energy bulbs are a little large don't you think, at least when I try to substitute them in my lamp shades?
