Haha Why didn't you guys appear earlier, especially TR?
I was damn eager to do this, so I failed.
Teh Tarik cannn.

So 1 Watt is enough?

It's big already what.

Oh ya, the black thing is what?
I'm reading back everything.
And if without the black thing. Will it short it when both side are on?

Bro., I am not into electronics and I know that is the driver they were talking about, because connection is brake light with tail light function.....

Without them can function? hahaha

Yup, I asked before how to have dimmer tail light and at same time become brighter when brakes are applied....

That black thing is a diode. It controls the flow of electrons so it doesn't go back. I would say without the diode there'll be a short circuit everytime your brakes go on.

LED is a diode too Light emitting diode haha

cabut !

Yeah. What diode dei.

I don't think LEDs restrict the flow of electrons. They just emit light as a side effect. I don't know what you call the black diode, the line around the top indicates the direction of the electron flow. That's about all I know. :ahhhhh:

I remember bro. TR call it a driver....

IT JUST HIT ME! I REALIZED WHAT I DID WRONG!
I connect pos to pos and neg to neg.
While the diagram shows pos to neg. Alamak. So thats series circuit!

:stupid:

Redo your project......

 

[stupidcar]

Redo your project......

Definitely redoing. hahahaha

 

[vr2turbo]

De-solder or order new LEDs?
