[DML] More on LEDs

[Rod Dillman <rhdillman@xxxxxxxxx>]

While sitting on the motel room porch one evening at Pigeon Forge, I saw two DeLoreans side by side each with the doors up. I could tell that one had LED bulbs and the other incandescant. It was a great opportunity to take a scientific poll on the two bulbs. I asked my  fiance and her mother if they noticed any differance in the lights and if so which they prefered. Without hesitation both picked the LED bulbs as being brighter and more red.  The red lights were the only ones that could be seen from our point of view. The LEDs were the ones Video Bob sells and I bought a set the next day. I have since installed them in my doors and really like the fact that I can now leave one or both doors up at car shows. I have ordered LEDs for the AC panel and festoon LEDs for the trunk and engine compartment but have not received them yet. Four of the old bulbs were hard to get out of the sockets but they finally came out(I broke two of the old bulbs) and two came out easily. Polarity is an
 issue with LEDs, if they don't light up, immediately reverse them to avoid damage to the bulb. I see no down side to LED use as replacements in the mentioned locations.  I would be interested in hearing if some of you may know of problems with them.
