[QUOTE="stupidcar, post: 1064348200, member: 149123"] Nvm lah, cheap mod. From LEDs resistor calculator, i put 2.8v forward current which is the minimum, maximum can go 3.2. Reverse is 5V. I didn't use just one resistor for the whole setup, hopefully it will be okay. Normal lights i put 5 LEDs for a 100ohm. For brake light 4 LEDs, I put 100ohm because it doesn't stay on for so long so it can tahan. I get it lah to maintain it's reliability. Thank you :adore: But then my friend did it using this set up for dome light, it's been a few months. Different set for brakes different set for tails function ma. No need dimmer function, I tested it with multimeter from the brake lights plug.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Yeah, I get it. But i'm just experimenting. I will only do this IF my taillights kaput. This is just decorative. [/QUOTE]
