[QUOTE="joneastwood, post: 595434, member: 21154"] So got a set of these from ebay to upgrade my dashboard lighting [img]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WZAAAOSwUKxYkIwe/s-l500.jpg[/img] All work great and well worth the £12 [b]BUT..... Don't change the charge light bulb to LED![/b] Took me ages to work out why I had to rev the nuts off my motor to get the charge light to go out and the alternator to start charging, thought it was a duff alternator for a while as it was also new but since realised that LED's draw so little power it wasn't drawing enough volts to trigger the charging circuit. As soon as I switched it back to the normal bulb light goes out straight away and starts charging straight away. [i]Every days a school day - well for me at least [/i] [/QUOTE]
