5 LED i'm using 1kiloohm resistor.. use plastic gum (hot gum) to cover the pcb. so far got no problem. if u use the super bright led..of coz ler bright..
Bump:
For your information, you'll need to add a resistor to lower the current or you'll be burning up the leds very soon. How many ohms will depends on how many leds you want to use. For signal lights you can't install it like the pictures because it just wouldn't work or light up the leds. You'll need capacitors and abit of wiring knowledge to make it work. To much to explain in details on the tech as why it won't work. Mainly because of how the current flow on and off (making the bulb blinking). Just remember that LEDs works differently from light bulbs.
why do we need another wiring for signal? the idea is same like if u change the fender lamp with T10 LED type bulb, it will not blink if u put the LED incorrectly (also same if u change the meter background bulb with LED type),..so if u correctly tap the wire (polarity).. the LED will blink together with signal lamp. plus ..my DIY led signal will blink together with alarm signal.
FYI the LED cant blink if u just touch the -ve to the body... thats why u need to tap both of the wire to the fender signal lamp. (already tested)
