The 5 watt #194 bulbs will eventually melt spots in your instrument cluster, which will loosen the bulbs causing intermittent outages. Use the standard 3 watt bulbs. The rheostats do go bad for both the cluster and the rest of the dash, and you might as well jump the connections to get full brightness, which isn't very bright anyway. Also, you should take a Q-tip soaked in electrical solvent and stick it into the bulb holes to clean the gunk off the lens/reflectors.
