From an old post, 194 LED bulbs would be one option, they are supposedly brighter.

Another option would be 168 bulbs which are standard bulbs but brighter than the 194.

This came from a post in the 6.9L diesel forum and, of course, would only apply if the bulbs in your truck are 194s.

Bulbs are white, the color comes from tint in the dash cluster.

It will work but it will change some of the colors in your dash display.
