No the clocks, you know the shelf bit? I want to fit some low wattage leds in there that come on with the side lamps so I can easily grab things from there at night,
I had one of these in the shed and I fitted it but its just way too bright.
Any ideas?

1K (1000) Ohm, 2W resistor should do it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263894047668?hash=item3d714f9bb4:g:dEsAAOSwGCNbfb8Y&var=563302432496
or 2 or 3 or 4 (until you get the desired dimness)

I recently fitted one of these to the centre dash. It has a great lighting profile [not too bright, nor too dull] and is switched, so when I need something within the cabin whilst driving it's 1. directional, and 2. gives good lighting when still fixed to dash.
