Changout to LED Bulbs

[Jon Davis]

Brian,

Most LEDs are around 1.2V, it should be on the datasheet for the device. Use
a dropping resistor in series with the LED (around 1500 +/- 500 ohms for in
a car). This will keep it from blowing up while giving average brightness
and long life. If you want real bright, use lower resistance (around 1000).
FWIW Radio Shack sells little 12V bulbs that work in our cars, just be
careful with the leads, the bulbs are a bit shorter.
