[s-cars] light upgrade

[johnny sack]

hi guys,

i am now down to about 25% of the lights working in my dash and climate
control.....
i have heard rumours about a 2 watt upgade etc.....

i am finally going to not be lazy and install all new bulbs.
can anyone shed any light (pardon the pun) as to how to do it etc.
i also wonder if i put 2 watt will it be too much power? do i need a
transitor?
do i need to keep my lighting knob dimmed a bit?

i would love some help suggestions...
i am about to revamp my interior this week...
including some low key red led's for lighting effects like the new audi's
have....
so any help would be great.
