Call me when you have a minute and I will tell you what I am going to do with my 1983 Passport re: the dim bulbs. I will also be posting it here soon but I don't have the time.

The two bulbs for the neutral light and the turn signal light work great, but the other two are so dim they are basically useless. I can sort of see the high beam light in pitch darkness, and the speedometer doesn't seem illuminated at all.
