Hi Old-Guy,
Of course I did
Please note that my target was to replace the with dry electrolyte (Aluminium Polymer) types. These are an improvement in almost all categories except price and leakage current. As these are analogue circuits and even some special low-leakage capacitors where originally chosen I decided to stay with wet once except the big buffers (C1).

Regarding the theory of too low temperature ratings, my information is partly based on
this Japanese report (
google translation) and he already observed the well known issues (brake light warning permanently on) even though his cluster was already equipped with 105 °C capacitors. Seems like the reason is not simply the temperature rating. In addition, the caps I observed leaking did no bulge (from the top) but simply leaked down along their legs. The whole things sounds more like a rubber seal deterioration issues especially considering that some ECUs are heavily affected (CCU e. g.) and other practically not (Engine ECU).
PS: The order has not arrived yet so there is a chance of this whole thing not working ..
PPS: Regarding the bulbs I wasted a whole day searching online but here in Europe it's not even possible to source the
#74 or
#158 reasonably. Will have to order it from Honda .. *sigh*
