[DeTomaso] Instrument Lights Upgrade

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Dan,

The generator lamp is part of the charging system and should not be replaced with a LED. If your car has a resistor in parallel with the lamp it will work anyway but if it's missing your alternator may not start charging properly.

> BA9s LED Bulb - 1 LED (3 lumens)
