[Mgs] LED BULBS FOR MGA

[Max Heim]

I wouldn't recommend it. There just isn't enough surface area in the tiny
MGA lenses to fit enough LEDs facing the proper direction to illuminate
anything.

If you look at LED lamps in modern cars, you will see the LEDs arranged in
neat arrays, concentric circles, or rows, so that all of them are pointing
parallel. The silly "clusters" of LEDs sold as replacements for standard
lamps are basically useless, as most of the LEDs are not pointing in a
direction that can be seen. The incandescent bulb was transparent -- the LED
cluster is not.
