[Healeys] LED panel lights

[Fred Wescoe]

Simon,

I have read the same thing about not using LED bulbs in the ignition and
high beam indicators.  However, I did replace them in my 66 BJ8 and all
seems well.  No problems at all.  Very easy to see during the day and at
night.  The instruments are also easier to see at night, not bight white
but still easier to see.
