I picked up a blue LED from Neutron electronics and some wire and a 40pak of
resistors from Radio shack today.  Using David Beierl's instructions I soon
had a working blue high beam indicator to replace the green one that came with
the van.  The LED was rated at about 3.5volts so a resistor was necessary.  I
found, after some experimentation, that 22k ohms provided about the right
brightness.  My efforts to create interior lighting have met with less
success, but I am not finished yet...


Many thanks to David for his straightforward explanation of the electronic details.
