On an unrelated note, after I put a new ground wire in, the best mod I ever did was putting LEDs into my 300D's instrument cluster. The potentiometer was always jenky but I got lucky and was able to lock it at max glow which provided more than enough light to every component and the cluster. I think I fixed it with a solder reflow, but that was almost ten years ago.

My 240D is far from a daily driver. Its fairly rare that I drive it at night at all, but still like things working...

Are LEDs actually cooler in this application, and does it look normal, or some riced out blueish white?
