This is on a GMC instrument cluster circuit board. A few of the bulbs are burnt out, and I want to replace them - a total of about 7 in all. These are a solder on type mini bulb. The original GM bulb is a 2174 that draws .04 amps. I can get Eiko 2182 that draws .08 amp at a local store but I can't find anyone local who has the 2174. I can order the 2174 on line and pay a high shipping charge.
The 2182 will physically fit the location and I found a reference on line to someone using the 2182 in place of the 2174.
Can anyone tell me what difference if I use the 2182 .08 amp bulb instead of the 2174 .04 amp bulb? Brighter? Dimmer? Will it overload the circuit board or cause any other problems?
Any help appreciated.
