[Mgs] FW: Led brake lights

[PaulHunt73]

They had better be good for over $170!

Instrument lighting is a different kettle of swimming things, a massive 
improvement for pennies although the varying function of the dimmer is 
largely disabled.  http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/images/led17b.jpg shows a 
modified tach and unmodified speedo, taken in the same shot so a direct 
comparison, and not illegal.  Not as 'bluish' in the flesh and the tint 
comes from having a bright white LED in a can that has been painted duck-egg 
blue, which helps to make the yellow light of incandescents whiter.  There 
are warm white versions that come out white.  Google 'E10 5 5050 SMD LED' 
for direct-replacement screw-in types, BA9 in place of E10 for bayonet, and 
T10 for push-in.  I say 'direct' but they are longer than the original bulbs 
and I had to space the speedo one back a bit in my RB V8 as when fitting it 
I could see the pointer moving.
