you could try changing new bulbs but you might lose a bit of the amberness..

i thought that in the eg6/eg9 white faced cluster, the dials made it amber/red, not the bulbs like standard eg5 clusters

also luke, what globes are you using, the stock ones off the eg5 cluster with the blue covers/condoms?

took a pic of mine, running the clear bulbs that came with it aswell, think they are dying though, abit patchy here and there.

edit - looks better in person, ordered some LEDs, see how they go once they arrive.

i have the same cluster, and mine looks exactly the same at night, the dimmer switch controls everything except for the cluster,
