Re: [DML] Finding Light Bulbs

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

Admitedly, I am not an electronics expert. But I have been 
researching a possible LED conversion for the interior, and exterior 
lights on the DeLorean. Even on a couple of hobby sites that carry 
instructions on how to convert regular flashlights over to LEDs, they 
seem to state that you have to also solder an in-line resistor into 
place. Even the "D" sized batteries in a flashlight are only 1.5V, 
and the DeLorean is running a 12V system. I'm not shooting the idea 
down, I think it's a great one. LEDs lighting up both the center 
console panel, and the 3 warning lights below would be a VERY welcome 
addition since they "burn" much cooler. I'm just saying that this 
isn't going to be a plug and play conversion. And given the size of 
the light blub sockets, you aren't going to get a resistor to easily 
fit in with the bulb at the same time. It's like taking a regular 
LED, and connecting it up to a 9V battery. It gets prety hot quickly.

Just a thought...
