lol yup, and that is per LED... wooo! luminled's FTW!!! going to be the same when I do the front signals. accept each one being 3v forward voltage.
That is why they are so bright.
I was curious tonight how warm the voltage regulators get after using them for a couple hours. so I drove around, got home, pulled of the jack cover in the back where I have the PWM mounted, and it was probably like 60 degrees. at the most, it was warm, but not hot.

Yeah the V-regs are only converting 13.7ish Volts to 12 so there isn't much power to burn off. I'd be more interested to see how hot the legs of the individual leds get after having the stop lights on for a while.

LMFAO! I enjoy that as well.

Thanks, I wish I had the time and a bit of extra funds to do the front markers now. some day. Must spend money on something that is needed on the truck, that... is not. LOL

Going to be putting in a brand new ac-delco/delphi ad244 in the jimmy in the next week and a half. I will take pictures along the way and do a write up in here.
