- My TR6 has 2.2W screw-in bulbs for the instruments. Are these the same as in your saloon? I guess not, because you say you replaced 5W with 10W bulbs. Anyway, do you have a source for these? Thanks,

- Hi Dale. 14.4W sounds way too high considering the stock bulbs are 2.2W. What is the voltage rating of these bulbs? If it's not 12V, then the 14.4W rating is not valid for autos. If it's 14.4W at 12V

- I saw some LEDs with screw in bases at Newark Electronics. www.newark.com I think this is called an E10 type bulb. They were colored though. LEDtronics is also a place that may have them. - Hugh

- Hi Dale. Generally, the brighter the bulb the more heat it will be dissipating. So the rheostat could help with a too hot bulb provided that you keep it turned down. Then the rheostat will dissipate
