Stu Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Don't forget you can't just hook up an LED to 12v without a current-limiting resistor .. (unless it's one of those 12v LED's)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revoltos Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Just use the electric mirror feed and they will come on with the ignition. You wont see them by day much, All you need is a five mm LED but I filled down the top not only so it was flat but it also helped diffuse the light better.
