Has anyone done this? Do they dim using the rheostat on the headlamp switch?

Did you have to swap over to an electronic flasher because of the signal indicators? I've heard you have to using them for signal lamps but wasn't sure about the dash indicators.

if you just want it a bit brighter, just spray the inside of the cluster with some silver paint. I have seen this on a chevy truck cluster and it makes a huge difference, plus you can still dim when need be. I'd hate to have a bright led lit dash that I couldn't dim. must be gettin old, but those bright dash lights bother my eyes on a long drive.
