    Dash indicator lights

    A fellow member was kind enough to send along a green dash light when I posted a request, but once I mocked the dash up I decided I wanted small LEDs instead. So, if anyone needs a complete set of FFR dash lights (1 blue, 1 red, 2 green), just post your request here and PM your address.

    Joe,
    I know you're not asking a question here but let me share my experience with you. I used LEDs for signals & high beam also. What makes them great in the daytime sun (high visibility) is their downfall at night. Their brightness is a major distraction. I can live with the turn indicators since they are just on for a few seconds but had to take a black marker to the glass bulb on the high beam indicator. That made it better but it still burns through too brightly. One of these days I'll add resistors to tone them down. Just something for you to think about now while they're easily accessable.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    Jeff, I already checked them out and made a small black cap for the blue one with a 3/32" hole in the middle.
