[DeTomaso] 3 watt Luxeon LED dash lights, Do they fit?

[Dave Doddek]

The problem with the high wattage LEDs is heat.  They must have a heat sink
installed to keep them cool or their life is ver short.  They are bright,
really bright.  Six of the 5 watters can replace a headlight, almost.  But
they get hot.  They are actually being sold in cluster lamps for work
lights on construction machines.  But the housigs are aluminum and have
fins to cool the leds.

What I am thinking of doing is just drilling the housing and installing
about 8 led lamps around the edge.  Eight regular Leds should be bright
enough.
