They're measured by candle power (c.p.) with the light output. The higher the c.p. the more it uses and hotter it gets.
I had a chart somewhere listing automotive bulbs and they're c.p. and I'll have to see if I can find it. I added underdash lights in my 68 due to the black interior, the same lights that were on fastbacks and converts, and I decided to use a softer c.p. bulb due to having the dome light too.
