[DML] LED A/C Lights (Was Re: Rewiring the AC Panel Lights)

["gzapf" <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've posted about these before, including photos (folder 2894), and as
of this weekend, have a bit of new info.  I had previously not
recommended using one in the auto shifter lighting, as it was too
uneven.  So after putting a bulb back in, I realized the lighting in
the shifter is uneven no matter what type of bulb.  (I have the early
auto shifter, YMMV).

Anyway, one of the white LED bulbs actually went out!  I was surprised
at that, but I had the spare from the auto shifter, and I also had
purchased one blue LED to see how it looked.  I tried plugging the
blue LED into the auto shifter and it looks really nice (if you like
blue :-)  ).  So the point I'm slowly getting to is that I recommend
offering an extra bulb "Automatic" version of your kit when you
release it.... just one more place to reduce heat and current draw.

Next time one of my friends with a good camera is over, I'll get some
new pics online.
