I got bored actually driving my car all the time, so I dove in and took
apart the dash. While I have all the instruments out, I thought I would
replace the bulbs. I bought some #14 bulbs from RadioShack, 2.47 volts,
0.3A. I tested the new bulbs vs the old ones and the new ones are about 10
times brighter. On all the bulbs I removed, it is stamped "OSRAM12V2.2W
ENG". On the RadioShack bulbs, it is stamped "14 2.47V 0.3A". I tested the
bulbs with a 12V cordless drill battery. I like the brightness, but I'm
afraid of the heat. I obviously have higher wattage bulbs than I should.
Can anyone tell me which RS bulbs to buy? I know it's been stated once
before as this topic surfaces every six months or so.
