Default Speedo and Tach lights

I have read the previous post regarding dash lights. But My dash lights do work. Its just that they are dim. And it appears that one of them in the speedo works intemittently. I would like nice bright gauge lights. Its a 1977 corvette. And suggestions on where to start? What are the light bulbs in the gauges called? Thanks :

they are dim compared to new cars, make sure you have a good grounding connection....i went over my dash harness with a fine tooth comb when i had the dash out and replaced all the bulbs......it is brighter then ever but still not really bright

Thanks i will check it out. But I really wanted to get inside and replace the lamps because, after all, they are over 25 years old.
