LED Dash Lights
Does anyone know what type of resistors (Part Number) go on LED lights when you convert your dash light. I've seen this done but they don't tell what type of resistors. I guess that's the hook in selling the LED dash light kit.
Thanks

almost any value will work, honestly. you can give a diode almost no current and it will get almost as bright as possible, that's the beauty.
diodes have a max current, typically around 20 mA though, and exceeding it for long periods of time kills them.
so without knowing anything about your diodes, i could say use a 1k ohm resistor or higher, and guarantee you they would not blow up.you might not get the max out of 'em, but pretty damn close and still safe.
