but works.

          I'm sorry already. It just felt like everybody was intent on shooting 
me down for a minute there. 
          And thank Jeebis we don't talk religion or politics!

                  First of all, I never said it would increase my mileage by 
2-3 miles per gallon. I said I would be pleased if it did, but even .2mpg would 
be fine with me. Lights use gas. That's all there is to it. They don't 
magically draw energy out of the air.
                  The bottom line is nobody can say conclusively how much 
difference it would make.  It would differ from person to person and car to 
car. If I never drive at night I suppose it wouldn't save squat. 
                  I neither know nor care how this became such a debate. My 
instruments are much brighter now. It only cost me $6.79 and they save energy. 
                  I just thought I would share that with all of you.   
                  Sorry if I wasted your time with such useless information. It 
won't happen again.

                  It sure as hell isn't because they can increase mileage 2-3 
mpg.I'm sure on a VW bus there are lots of other things that would make a 
bigger mileage improvement.Driving a toaster isn't contusive to good mileage.

                            If I'm dreaming then so is every major car company 
in the world. They are all switching to LEDs from bumper to bumper and it ain't 
'cause they're pretty.

                            2-3 mpg you are dreaming.

                                  Incandescent bulbs get too hot to touch. It 
has to take a substantial amount of energy to create that heat and that's 
ultimately coming out of the gas tank. 
                                  Even if I only squeeze 2-3 more miles out of 
a gallon it's better for the environment and a step in the right direction. 
                                  Besides, if I ever forget to turn my lights 
off, the bus will still start in the morning. 
                                  P.S. Thanks for reminding me. I need to check 
my tires. 8^)

                                   All of the bulbs in my Scirocco have been 
replaced by LEDs except the head lamps..I can't believe that they will make any 
difference in the fuel mileage.That sounds like sales talk to me.Increasing 
your tire pressure by two or three psi will probably make more change in your 
mileage.I have red LEDs for dash lights and I don't really like them that 
much.Of course I haven't changed to white so they must not be to bad.

                                  After, possibly, more research than it was 
worth and pulling my dash apart many times to try several different LEDs, we 
finally have a winner. 
                                  These bad boys are twice as bright as all the 
rest yet still not too bright. They are just right. It is really nice to have 
everything so well lit for a change!
                                  They are at the cool end of the spectrum so 
the light is snow-white. 
                                  The best part is they are only $2.44 a pair, 
no tax and free shipping! 
                                  I shoulda bought 50 of them and sold them for 
5 bucks each in Fredericksburg. 8^)  
                                  They're from a company in China that I buy 
stuff from all the time. The prices are great but it's always 4-6 weeks for 
delivery. Considering their prices it's worth the wait.

                                  They are polarized, so before you put your 
dash back together, wait to see which ones you have to turn around first. 
                                   Next I'll be upgrading my interior lights 
and my brakes and turn signals. I read it actually makes a significant 
difference in your gas mileage. We'll see. It probably wont be that significant 
unless I do the headlights too, but those suckers are over $100 each, so forget 
that.
