rear lights.... why not use lots of led's in series ?

[knighty]

you cannot measure resistance. it is an led.

oops/doh, of course!

I recently installed some 12v RGB lighting on the back of my A-Line. They're quite bright, notice the nice aura they cast on nearby objects:

made my first string tonight

have done the always on lights first (going to be brake lights)




solderd the full length of the legs to each other, it was the easiest way to keep them roughly the same distance appart

33 in that string, 24 in flashing string so I'll space them out a bit

p.s.

when I was testing it before I shrunk the heat shrink, I left it on for 5 min and the heat shrink around the resister shrunk with the heat from it...

can;t remember what I ordered but it was supposed to be way more than the 90mW I needed....

ordered some 2watt ones to replace them with

just done the string of 24flashing ones, works great, resistor stayed cool, but I'll replace it anyway

thanks for the help guys
