Lumens of OEM dashboard lights?
D&Z F423W T4.2 0.15W 24lm 6500K 3-SMD 3014 LED White Light Instrument Lamps - Black (5 PCS) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
I want to get some low power LED lights for my dashboard (so I can drive them with an aftermarket ECU on a low power (200mA) circuit. If 24 lumens compares favorably to stock, I'm in!

Yeah - I was actually having trouble figuring out which I need, it looks like they don't have them? I'm not looking for the general lighting, I am looking for the indicator lights - CEL and such... The idea is I need a LOW current draw but want to know if the LED will be bright enough to get my attention when it goes off.

Yeah - the issue is the MS - it has a lot of channels in the 200 mA range - so a 1.4W bulb is starting to push the output. Having lots on at once could be an issue for the CPU to sink.
So I'm hoping to find some ~100 or less mA bulbs. Ideally, I can get a grab bag of 150 mW bulbs for a whopping 10 mA of current and I can run as many as the CPU has pins.
