I searched around but couldn't find anything on replacing the instrument lights with LEDs. I bought a couple new instrument bulbs from Pelican, but the light was yellowish, not the white of the OEM lights. On the other hand, the OEM lights are not that bright (ok, they barely illuminate the gauge).
I found these that look like they would be a direct replacement (the BA-7 model). Has anyone tried them? |

Red might be interesting to try, if available... Pilots, particularly us single engine pilots use red lens flashlights at night to prevent light blindness from brighter white bulbs... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It actually isn't the brightness. Red light is actually used because the rod cells in human eyes aren't sensitive to it which means that it doesn't screw up pupil dilation and reduce night vision.
