I've been working on some burl instrument panels for 107's, and I have a lot of them to play with - the next project is to put 11,000mcd white LED's in to replace the tiny bulbs for the instrument illuminiation. I might have to do some creative shaping of the plastic of the LED to make the light more wide-angle - one trick I've seen is an "inverted cone" - a dimple in the top of the LED.

I've also got 13000 mcd green LED's to try out for the blinkers - I can't see them (much less hear the blinker) in the summer with the top down. I hate looking like an idiot, making right hand turns around the world...
