Dash Bulbs

My Scorpio had only one bulb working in the instrument panel when I bought it last year.
The bulbs I removed were 3W
The new 3W bulbs didnt seem to make the dash as bright as I would have liked it so I replaced them with 5W bulbs.
Now I dont know if 3W is the correct spec or what the maximum load on the dash lights should be but mine have been in for over a year now and no problems, been back in twice to check.
Heres a pic, taken at 60mph with a mobile phone so sorry for the quality

And we see that the outside temperature is between 0 and 5 deg C - s'pose that could be any day in Scotland then!!
Stewart - do you have the finis and the numbers required for the complete rebulb?

I've looked at that dozens of times but never noticed the numbers required before 
I must get round to it - they're dying one by one.
