Subject:      Instrument Panel Lights/ LED conversion.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I just bought 2 "super bright" brand 3 candella power
LED's that i plan on installing into the speedo/gas
tank/temp gauges BECOUSE i flippin' cant find the
reason why my OEM gauge lights wont come on(bulbs are
OK)


Im using the LED's with POS+ soldered to 220 OHM
resisters. My question to you is: to power these, can
i splice into the headlight switch?...or do i go to
the fuse box, these LEDs use very little juice by the
way and wont drain your battery too much if left on
for a day.


Thanks
Phil 84 Westy Tiico


OH i also installed a 10 candella power LED into my
dash pointed to the floor(its my map light) and WOW!
this bulb is bright! Cost me $3.99 but they can be
found fer cheaper.
