One thing I've noticed is that older bulbs don't like to be jiggled much. Whenever you take out the instrument cluster for repairs, it's a good idea to replace all of your illumination bulbs (yours should have 6, 4 for the speedometer/gauges and 2 for your trip computer). When I replaced my odometer gear, I noticed that one of my gauge lights went out. I would recommend replacing those six gauge lights, and then set your dimmer to 80% or so brightness. Your bulbs should last a lot longer that way.
