LED panel indicators

During the night of the Lands End Trial I found that the headlamp and main beam warning lights were dazzling me by making glare in my helmet visor. I'd replaced the minature bulbs with LEDs during the summer but they were obviously too intense during the night.

The series resistor was 680 ohms so I've replaced it with 1.4 k on these 2 indicators. I suppose I'll have to test them properly but with the lights out in the garage they seem suitably dim.
