I want to increase iluminacion of picture because she is very dark, changes the 1.5 w light bulbs to w and it is not seen very well.
I can put light bulbs of to 2 w without there is danger?
I believe the higher wattage bulbs may lead to issues with the paint peeling off the dials. I've not experienced this myself, but I have heard it mentioned by a few other owners. The only other option would be to convert to LED.

Agreed. There are several folks on here who have uprated the bulbs, either by mistake or on purpose and have then suffered from peeling paint on the dials, which can jam the needles.
There are 3 variants in the dash, rated at 1.1W, 1.2W and 2W. The 2W bulbs MUST NOT be used for the dial illumination.
I have beed trying to compile a full list of bulbs for the entire car and their equivalent LED versions where applicable, but that is proving damn hard
There are lots of places that sell suitable LED's. I have been looking at Ultraleds.co.uk, with the LEDs that you want (286T variant) on this page.

I have already understood it.
I have puttings light bulb of 1.5 W, but it is not sufficient, although if you say that you are dangerous not it hare.
Thanks for the information
It might be a silly question, but is it not just the dimmer turned down by mistake ? (don't flame me guys, you'd not believe how may times this has come up on fans)
Sometimes people are unaware it exists.
