Dead Instrument Panel lights - Any permanent fix?

Gents,
I've been driving for the last I don't know how long without instrument lights. I've tried everything I can think of to get the lights working again, but the foil contacts for the bulbs are just too far gone. The lights will work for a bit, but then they are gone again. If I wiggle the bulbs they start working again, and then die shortly thereafter. Does anyone have a good fix for the problem short of replacing the instrument cluster?
Alternately I have been working on a fix that uses 4 white LEDs with a solid state dimmer, but it is still way experimental.
Thanks for any advice...
