Might work, they can't be dimmed though... I'm thinking about putting LEDs in my motorcycle, every watt I can save is a good thing. I've got a bag of LEDs, just need to get resistors and I'll break the guts out of some bulbs leaving the base to mount the LED and resistor in.

The lamps in question are for the panels around heat/vent controls. The bulbs I removed are housed in plastic barrels that are 8mm in diameter; the barrels push-fit into a recepticles on the back of the illuminated panels. My thought is to replace them with LEDs, it seems that 8mm is a standard LED size but I'm not sure where to source these. I found this on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/6e2u5k Anyone think those would be appropriate? Or know of any other good sources? I want something approximately as bright as the original lamps and that will dim appropriately if I dim the dash lights.
