Dim lights in dash

My dash cluster has been on the bench for almost a week now. I've been researching the LED's along with contemplating the ammeter bypass. I'm quite challenged when it comes to electrical, so none of this is scientific.....

I picked up some #194 LED White bulbs today & just hooked them up to bench test them.

Here's a couple pics of the existing factory style #158 bulb & the #194 LED purchased. They're not installed yet, but I'm encouraged as they look quite a bit brighter!
