Halogen dash lights

[ATWEDITOR@aol.com]

The LBC guys are offering 5 and 10-watt halogen light bulbs they say will 
work well in dash instruments and provide a lot of light.  I remember a past 
list string in which certain bulbs from Radio Shack were recommended, but due 
to a voltage mismatch there were doubts about bulb life.  Has anyone had any 
experience with halogen bulbs to boost dim instrument illumination?  Are they 
bright and do they last?  Given their high price they should do both to be 
justified.
