      How many of these LED lights can be wired together?

      I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve and I was wondering how many of these style LED lights can be wired together in a circuit. What I mean is if I wire a lot of them to 1 positive wire and a lot to 1 negative wire will I have problems??
      I just hooked up 2 very similar to these for my license plate lights.
      I got this pic from DSE.

      Never mind I just called around to several dealers that sell these and found my answer. I will be buying some of these from DSE in the near future for my next project.

      Hopefully these links can help, since all LED’s are different just take the info off the LED package and plug it into the corresponding spot.

      If you are not using 12 volt LED’s like myself, then you can figure out the proper resistor to use, so that the LED doesn’t burn up.

      LED series resistance calculator.

      Good luck, John

      I am in the process of making LED tails, corners and turn signals for my ride. Does anybody have a circuit board they know fits?

      You can make your own, just get what's called a "bread board" from any electronics shop (even Rad Shack) and mount your LED's to it and get jumper "traces" that come in all different lengths to make the "traces" on the board, all the parts are very cheap.

      We have been playing with the new 1 watt LED's, those have some crazy output for such a small thing.
