LED lights.

<< < (2/3) > >>

muddyjames:
but at £5 looks like a good price.

Mainly though are they the type I need to look for or are there different size led's?

which size do i need if so?

SWEETY:
If you are wanting a flashing LED for almost nothing pop to your local scrap yard & just cut one out of a scraped car :D We did this years back & fitted them to my M8's escorts outside door handles (his idea) looked ok & cost £0 owner of the breakers just laughed & said take them 8)

muddyjames:
I think i will need at least 6 led's inside the duck. I am just worried about how many bulbs i can run off the original led light there.

check on the maplin website sorry i dont know the URL

your radio LED is most probly 3 mm i would use the new style bright 5 mm leds for what your looking to do, i used 5 mm super bright blue led on a custom tily meter and i had to put a huge resistor on it simply because it blinded me evan in the brightest of daylight,

yh i would suggest your local maplins store or the main website they have most stuff in stock to do with electronics

hope thats of help to you
cheer kieran :D

I am a very very very amature person when it comes to electrics. If I run a 5mm wire in I would need to go back to where in the circuit? I am guessing that would be a whole of dash board out job? I dont fancy that tbh!!!

and as for resisitors. that flew over my head big time!!! :lol:
