[urq] Instrument Cluster Switch Illumination

[Patrick Carlier]

Use a led instead of a light bulb .
Works good , and lasts forever .
I use red high efficiency 5mm leds .
Gives the switches a red glow , looks nice .

You'll need a 560 Ohm series resistance for each led ,
and watch the polarity offcourse . .
