Mike:

My only concern with respect to using these bulbs in dash lights in a
MGA (or TD) would be heat. Either car will produce enough juice to run
them. And as far as heat goes - some of the plastic present in the area
around these bulbs could be damaged or could melt (or worse??). But as I
have never tried or tested them myself, I leave it to others to use
their cars as Guinea pigs :-) [And hopefully report back to us safely.]
