Have you got reflectors inside to make the light spread more? I've seen some people use tin foil.

Otherwise some people use (?)T10 LED's which are very crisp.

EG6 clusters are notorious for being not very bright. I recall reading that LEDs only make the bright/dark spots even more obvious than halogens. I believe it also doesn't have a dimmer? Not much you can do besides try a higher wattage bulb, risking burning the holder.

use clear bulbs, stock ones have rubber lining on it.

maybe its your light dimmer next to your steering wheel .. try putting it up

Are you sure all globes behind the cluster are working? A "dull" spot should be the cause of an inoperative globe. But like someone else mentioned, you can change them to LED it will give a crisper light dependent on what colour LED you go with.

Ditch the LED T10 wedge lights and try using the normal T10 7w light bulbs.

if you really want bright effect, then try the T10 wedge LED/SMD that has the "actual" LED diodes scattered 360 deg type rather than just pointing at the top.

this way you will have scattered illumination rather than a ray of light in one spot.

similar to this type:

they are pricey that only comes in pairs but if your keen on the entire brightness, then u need to replace them all.

otherwise buy the bright ass illuminated el-dial type ...and you have the option for brightness or dimmed effect.



ebay sells them cheap too...
