LED Flashlight idea

ilshim · 11-20-2006, 01:10 AM

does anyone know if it is possible to change the standard BMW flashight to a LED flashlight? that this that would be a really neat mod only you would know (or care). do LED run on different currents? im assuming it would take more effort then to just switch out the bulbs....

It's the same current, only an LED uses much less for the same or greater amount of light so the battery lasts longer. If you're doing a mod to the flashlight unit, ensure you get the polarity correct. Otherwise the LED won't work.
