Paul,

Brighter bulbs will also be hotter.  Hotter may melt and discolor things.  Not 
good.

I have had gool luck painting the area around bulbs to dim dash lights on 
motorcycles.  First I would clean the area around the bulbs so the surfaces 
are as bright as possible.  I would also clean the back of the dash so light 
could go through easy.  You could possibly paint the back of the bulb 
enclosure silver to reflect more light forward.  Perhaps painting the bulb 
silber BELOW the filliment would direct more light in the right direction.

I would also make sure the bulbs are getting full voltage.  A dirty rehostat 
could sap a few tenths of a volt.  Light output is a huge function of voltage.

Drive Safe,

Joe
