Some of the 1.2W bulbs in my climate control melted a little plastic, I can't even imagine how a 5W would do in the dash. I'd stick the 3W back in BUT you should also take some time to clean inside of there. Use some qtips and isopropryl alcohol (rubbing), you'll be amazed how dirty it really is in there and how much better it'll work when done. The light goes from the bulb and is supposed to be reflected off of these white surfaces to make it to the top. Whatever makes it to the clear part on top goes out the front. While it may not be as bright as the 5W bulbs it should be a vast improvement over what you had.
