so the cluster in my KGC10 is very dim. ive tried buying LED's from a local shop and installed those to try to brighten them, but they were even more dim than the 39 year old lights that i have now. so has anyone found a way to make these brighter??

bought some from autobacs, but they were uber expensive, just bought some from the link you posted, and i basically bought like 12 or so different bulbs, for the price of 4 from autobacs..
i will let you know how the install goes.
i installed the ones from autobac, and they were awesome, but now my gauges dont match the omori gauges, so i ordered some green ones so they will all match. LOL

I had the exact same problem with my c10. The OE bulbs were just horrible even on a pitch black night. I pulled all the bulbs & replaced them with LED bulbs. Which made a huge difference.

The Led bulbs looked like this.
