I got one of the smaller speedos from MikesXS with the Neutral, high Beam, Turn Indicator lights. Works, looks good but the Blue High Beam indicator light is just too damn bright. My ohm's law skills aren't what they use to be. What size resistor would I put in series with the indicator light to cut it in half, down to around 6 volts?

i`m no good at that either but another option would be to get a blue colored bulb cap from the electronic store. they are like a condom for your bulb and come in different colors. that would tone it down some. or just a lower watt bulb. good luck on that.
