weak dash lights

hey guys!
ok... my dash lights work (both of them) but pretty weakly (almost don't light anything...)
might it be the fuse? (to strong?)
or the lamps are just getting old? (but if it's that, i thought the lights were just kind of :"on/off"... i mean working good or not working at all)

i don't know if i'm clear or not

thanks!

 

search dash lights

topic of many discussions.

 

i know... i did:Handshake
but most threads are about "how to change them" (which is good since i'm probably gonna have to change them)
my problem was (is) that the lights actually work... but weakly...

so it was more by curiosity, just to know if that was normal, kind of showing me that the lights were getting old, or if it was just a fuse too strong

oh, and another question:
i'm probably gonna go for blue leds...
which one do i buy?

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=755

the BA9s-B4 Blue LED bulb 3mm at $2.98?
or
the BA9s-B Blue LED bulb 9mm at $1.98?

it's the 9mm right?
at 12V right?

thanks

 

Your lights sound normal. They are not bright compared to today's cars.

 

in that case, will led lights solve the problem (not that i wanna tan my face while driving at night, but be able to see how fast i'm going would be sweet... )

 

sorry...like Craig said
I am dealing with mine now that I have them

 

I'm going to try these:

Or these:

 

maverick5946 : no problem:Handshake
so is the size 9mm and the power 12V?
and will the led lights solve the problem?

dave: those look nice too, what's the difference with the one i found?

thanks guys for your answers
