Re: Brighter Instrument Bezel Lights - But not with LED's

I would also be curious to see how the PCB holds up to the added load of the brighter lights. The heat generated byt them is going to be pretty substancial imo, and we all know the lighting circuit on the PCB is the ususal weak spot and usually burns near the ground screw on the fuel gauge side near the plug for the dash.I would try to leave them on for at least 2-4 hours a day for a few days to see if it will hold up OK. Good work on finding the bulbs and LMK know how it turns out in the long run. BTW how much do those bulbs cost each?
