Quite a few folks have gone to the LED lights from http://www.superbrightleds.com

Including me, I just haven't powered them up yet is all.
Only touched them off with a battery and a wire to test them.
Looked pretty bright to me.

Bulb heat is directly related to bulb wattage. The 3894 is a 3 watt bulb. Most bulbs with that style base are considerably higher wattage.

Thanks Dale
The old site once mentioned 1445 bulbs (14.4 Volt @ 1.94 watt) or 1891 (14.0 Volt @ 3.36 watt).
I've used the latter and like the extra voltage buffer although it looks like I'm getting approx 2.88 watts at 12 Volts.
They are also taller and closer to the gauge face which seems to help although I wonder if there might be a problme due to heat.

BTW, the 3894 bulbs are cheap on eBay at 5.49 for a box of 10 + 2.69 shipping.
