Also note that the LED driver ports will work well with Red, Yellow and Green LED's and do not require any additional series resistance, just wire the LED's as explained in the updated IFI documentation.

Blue and White LED's may or may not work because of the higher voltage required to light them, the resulting current provided by the operator interface may not be enough to light them brightly. If you do go down that path, look for higher efficiency LED's and consider the information in IFI's updated documentation along with some of the information in my past posts that may provide some additional insight.
