You probably need the advice of an EE, but this is what I found:

Perry's handbook of Chemical Engineering - Conversion tables 1-7

to convert from            to          multiply by

Candle power(spherical)  lumens          12.556

lumens                    watts         .001496


result  .0188 watts/CP


     CP         Watts        Milliwatts        Milliamps

     1.5        .028            28                2.33
     3.0        .056            56                4.66
     6.0        .113           113                9.42


I have no idea whats in there now, or if these will burn a hole through 
your gauge faces.  Hope this helps
