In shoptalk there is a section about this. I don't remember the bulb # but it makes a difference. I put one in the tach when it went out and it is quite a bit brighter than the speedo side.

The original bulbs are about 2.5 watts
replacements;
158 3.3w
161 2.7w
194 3.8w
168 4.9w
I like the #158 or #194
