    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Not sure which they are , but I bought some real small LED replacements for much cheaper than that. The BA7 (7mm barrel) is a pretty small bulb and after looking around (and passing by some outrageous prices) I found these.

I just googled and they are these. I found them even cheaper.

You can find most sizes cheap.

Posplayr,

doesn't the led replacements require a resistor? I remember someone replaced their gear position lights with led bulbs and used a resistor, I just can't remember who right now

Yes LED's do indeed need resistors and all these bulbs have them built in. If it has a standard socket on it assume it is a drop in replacement.

One other point I did not bother to mention but will do now, most idiot lights are usually not on or only minimal power so changing to an LED will have little effect on total load and therefore one need not worry too much if you still have a SHUNT R/R. But if swapping out from everything from Incandescent to LED, strongly consider getting a SERIES R/R.
