Looks to be a common thing, so is there any way to make it brighter?
Thanks,

and i think its the smaller bulb not the 194, i cant remember the number offhand tho, if you email that website the might be able to tell you. or a parts store

not to be a dick but you have tried turning your dimmer up right?

Man I feel like a dumb ass now, I typed in Light Emitting Diodes on a google search and it came up LED, DOH!!!! Yeah I have tried the thumb wheel, I thought that also but there wasnt any change, maybe the bulb is bad, never thought about that.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
