  • led's

    sence my car is slow im gonna put led lights on the incide to light up the floors like a limozine, 50 blue led's +the 8 in the speekers, but how should i power 58 lights? im worried if i just wire them up to the battery they will all just burn out, but leds are kind of bult to take abuse like that so i dont know, how should i wire therm up?

    Re: led's

    You're putting LEDs in your car because it's slow.... riight..

    Depends what kind of LEDs you have. If they are 12V leds, they should work fine, otherwise you have the option of wiring in parallel or series using resistors. All depends what the handling power those LEDs have.
