Hey i wrote the guy asking him to attribute or remove the picture of
the lit dashboard he has on his auction listing... the image belongs to
Mike Ray and is posted on my website.

I didn't get any reply. Makes you wonder.

Anyhoo, both Mike Ray and I found that our experimental LED dashlights
were dimmable, but not as much as incandescents.

I wrote to the guy and asked a few questions.  LEDs are not dimmable,
and he says they are considerably brighter than stock lights.  This
would be a problem driving out in the countryside where most folks like
to have the dash lights turned down low.  He said he could make them up
with white lights, as well.
