[urq] Instrument Cluster Switch Illumination

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Ingo/Patrick/Stephen et al,

Looks like red LED's are going to be given a shot here-thanks for your
responses!  Patrick, thanks for the BTDT posting.

As always, your help is much appreciated!

Cheers,
Jim

Jim,

I don't -- but this brings up a good point:  Why not replace said bulbs with
much cooler and longer lasting LEDs (probably what you were thinking
anyway).  I think Radio Shack has ones with built-in resistors for less than
$2 ea.

Is this for the newer-style switches ('84 up)?
