      i'd like to brighten my cluster lights too, but i've heard that over-wattage bulbs can melt the cluster or sockets.

      can anyone, ahem... shed some light on this?

          cluster bulbs should be 3-watts ...5-watt bulbs will definitely melt the cluster thing ...there are some brighter dome light bulbs available however...

          edit: the wedge-style led bulbs don't throw enough light out in all directions to illuminate the whole cluster...

            does anyone know if there are any of theses bulb types that are smaller then the stock 5007 bulbs?

            1156 = 1073 = 7506 bulbs
            1157 = 1034 = 2057 bulbs
            3157 = 3057 = 3457 bulbs
            3156 = 3056 bulbs
            7440 bulbs
            7443 bulbs

            and what do you guys think if these junk or not
