Are you sure the dimmer switch is turned to its maximum brightness? When I got my first w123 I didn't even know it had a dimmer switch. The trip mileage reset button doubles as the switch.

Some people have installed LEDs.
However I would leave the Alternator Charging Light alone because you need a certain wattage of Bulb in the circuit in order for you alternator to charge.

Drove around for 4months with it on its dimmest, trying to figure out how to install new bulbs. Turns out, I just needed to turn a dial.

I have been driving it like a manny, though she is an auto. I needed to do a tranny service. Done now. She shifts great!
