  • Thanks: 107

it took 18 leds at 22p each as i dont use the cheap ones then 9 resistors at 1p each

time wise to get the best pointer colour ect its about 5 hrs to do a full set ( if you know what your doing lol )
here is my how to on using leds http://www.the-t-bar.com/en/forum/9-mgftf-pitstop/36082-led-how-to-wire-resistors

also i did a how to on the clocks but it seems to of disapeard

found it :)

well i looked at that and lets just say woooosh straight over the top.. so here is another question.. i bought these

thinking i could just solder them direct to a 12v supply + - so when the came i did a little test with an old 12v cigerette adaptor cut off the plug and soldered the led direct to the + and - wires but the led flickered and died so im guessing although they say suitabe for car use i guess not direct 12v does anybody know or can point me in the right direction of what leds i need

99 % of leds need a resistor as max current is usualy 20mA (0.020 A)

there is a how to on leds i did a while ago :)

here you go :)
