Whatchu' lookin' at?!?! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 3,432 Joined: 6-September 04 From: San Gabriel, CA Member No.: 2,697 ![]() |
So i've retrofitted some LED rings into my daily driver, but i'm only using the LEDs as the running lights and using the filament bulb when brakes are applied. how would i go about using the LEDs for both running and braking light usage? i know i'm suppose to add a resistor to each positive LED wire, but i'm so confused as to what OHM rating or % etc i'm suppose to use. The guys at two radioshacks were useless.
Here's how they look at the moment: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i62.photobucket.com-2697-1354257938.1.jpg) |

There are off the shelf drivers that can do this.
Google 'buckpuck'. If I knew the max current when on full, I could suggest a converter that takes 12VDC and regulates LEDs. Stu |
