People Hi again,
on the same time that I carried out the interior light conversion have also converted the ordinary lamps on the autobox lever plinth (where the gear indicator letters and numbers are).
Out went the 10 Watts ordinary lamps and in came a pair of LED wedge type bulbs.
The difference in the heat emitted through the plinth has to be feld to be believed. With the ordinary lamps you could simply not touch the plinth for a long time. After fitting the LEDs it is almost cold.
Up to now I have had no problem with that conversion also.
Only minor drawback is that the light is a bit dimmer than with the 10 Watts lamps. But it is the same as with the factory fitted 5 Watts lamps that were again creating a very hot surface on the plinth.
Take care Pantelis
