I wanted to do some under dash LED's and searching eBay I found user "ectrend" selling:
"20pcs x Ø 5mm Red Round LED Super Bright 10k mcd
with 20pcs resistors (Free of Charge)" - $1 + $1 S&H so I thought cool, right?
Judging from this link: http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz
I require 390ohm resistors. I received (100) 22 ohm (red, red, black, gold) resistors. AND, not only did they send me resistors I might not be able to use, they also forgot to send me the LED's that the Auction was up for :thumbdwn: . I'd hate to wire them in a series because like MustangP51 said in his posts that if one goes out, the whole series will go out. The only thing I can think to do is to combine resistors. Anyone have to do that?
If anyone can give me some advice, I'd appreciate it.
Also: Has anyone tried to make custom fog lights using LED's or even Luxeon's? I've got some gutted (what I believe are) stock fog lights from my Mountaineer. The metal inside rusted and the glass covers cracked. I'm going to use Plexi as a cover and possibly Luxeons for the bulbs.
