[R-390] Re: LED lamp replacement

[Rbethman]

First - When you get a new car or truck with those LED taillights, 
remember how WELL they get the attention of those behind you.  You'll 
live LONGER.

Second - I'd like to get circuit info on LEDs in lieu of the dial 
lamps.  Whom can send it by mail?  Does someone have this on a web site?

I may even tackle the UV for the meters!
