Does anyone know if they draw more or less current?

This sounds like a good project to clean the reostat first. Thanks Paul then I will look at the lcd bulbs. Brighter and less energy I believe.

Re: re Instrument cluster light bulbs

Over the years I'd have to say my instrument lighting has never shown much of any improvement no matter what I did that should have affected it, i.e. I changed to new bulbs in 1976, I changed to a new light switch and rheostat in 1992, I've even polished my gauge lenses, none of which made any significant improvement. The LED bulb sounds like the only bet to really affect change. Otherwise, it's just the nature of the beast/design that I noted before.

Hi Bob,

I was curious as well, so I contacted Whitegauges.net. Standard 1816 incandescent bulbs draw .33 amps. Their BA9 white LED bulbs draw .023 amps, and are dimmable like the originals.

Save the wave!
