brighter cluster bulbs
I decided that ours were dark also, and I want a good backlit face so... I'm not going with the jdm cluster, and try and pick up a 94-01 teg gsr cluster or type r one, but don't really matter to me jdm or not. They have a good look at night, and make all bulbs red mmmm very nice.

I changed 3 of the 194 bulbs in the back and it was a lot brighter but the problem is that the cluster uses more than just 3 bulbs like the Integra so it appeared like bright spots on the cluster. There are many small ones that I do not know the size of.

Thats what i was refering too.. but, it only brightens up the face.. not the backlight. but works..

If your going to take the amber plate off you should try to take out the bulbs and just pull the amber coating off thats on the bulb itself.
It's like a little rubber condom thats on the bulb, just roll off.

thats nice still, i did something else, i pulled out all the bulbs out of my cluster and put something else in, check mine out. by the way sorry for the large picture, and um, its actually pretty bright and clear at night.
you will be highly dissappointed in LED's the light dispertion patterns are not the same as a incandescent lamp. THis was done last year on a Mercedes board I belong to and the results are NOT like you are hoping for.
