    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...

    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.

Instrument cluster lamps LED replacement

Heya Folks,

I'm currently looking into this and wanted to know if anyone in here has already replaced the incandescent bulbs with LEDs, and with what kind.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few to choose from. Not sure how many lumen are too bright, or too dim - I'd like not to be blinded by the high beam indicator during night time driving. :) Furthermore, the speedo/tach illumination requires the bulbs to be a point light source, so the LED bulb has to be constructed accordingly. This is not required for the regular indicator lights.
 
Thanks! Searched for socket designation (BA9s), guess that's why I didn't find the thread.
