Re: Right i know this is silly.... G_J, so long as you meant that the bulb was changed from 2.2 watts to 5 watts, it'll all be fine and dandy. Otherwise, keep the fire extinguisher handy... ken Gay_Joe wrote: i dont wanna make a tit out of myself, but.. i changed the bulb in my dash from the woofty lil 2.2A to a nice beefy 5A and i can actually see it at night now but... is it gna cause any long term damage? like melt a hole in my dash or anything like that? yess i know its kinda silly but i thought i'd ask... just incase something was to happen.... lol cheers GJ edit** ooo 500th post for me

Re: Right i know this is silly.... Good to know the bulb can be uprated without problems, 'cos the original is useless.
Has anyone tried using LEDs in there? Can you get ones brighter than the ordinary bulbs?

Re: Right i know this is silly.... That's a fantastic idea. All these years and it's never occurred to me to do that! The original is useless innit?

Re: Right i know this is silly.... D.A, afaik, LEDs have been tried... ...and found wanting, most probably because the light beam which they produce is too narrow. ken. Devils Advocate wrote: Has anyone tried using LEDs in there? Can you get ones brighter than the ordinary bulbs?
