Brightest Bulb for Gauges

does anyone know the number for the brightest bulb that will fit in the FD gauge cluster? I did a search, but no dice.

Thanks.

2825 is the brightest bulb at 4 Candlepower, almost double the standard 194.

the problem i am having is finding the original number for the smaller bulbs, which as I found out is the weak link in the instrument cluster lighting. I am gonna have to spend some time at the light rack over at the autoparts store.

The Toshiba number seems to be a14v3w I am trying to find the sylvania equivalent so I can then find a brighter alternative.

I'll post back

EDIT: Actually I think I just found the # it should be the 2723 @1.48MSCD. It is the brightest t-1 1/2 base bulb sylvania offers.
