BanginOnABudget Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) hey guys, need some resistor help. im going to be re-doing the dash lights in my blazer, i dont like the factory low intensity bulbs, here are the LED's i want to work with. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=070-540 i have never worked with resistors. i know the LED is rated a 4vDc max, so im going to run 3.5vDc, do i need to find the voltage output of the wires before i can get into what kind of resistors i will need? sorry, i really havent done anything like this before. Edit: holy shit did i say blazer? i meant jeep. maybe i shouldnt get on smd right as i wake up. Edited August 31, 2010 by BanginOnABudget Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!! Flared port kits coming soon!!

BanginOnABudget Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Posted August 31, 2010 3000lb jeep or 4000lb blazer... hmmmmm.... no but seriously, i need some help bros, i want to order whatever i need today. any help would be appreciated. heading out to find my voltage. wait, im doing a big 3 soon, my resting voltage is like 13.8, should i wait till then, because i dont want voltage rise to throw off my numbers for the LED's. you can lock this thread mods, im going to order my LED's and wire, then get the resistors when all i said and done.
