Those are just awesome. Its just hard to find room for the heat sink, they throw some heat! unless being used in reverse lights, they are not on for too long.

Today I should get the resistors for the Amber LED's in the mail today. Then I can get them wired up and done.
Thinking about dry fitting the resistors I have for the white ones to determine if I need to order up a different ohm value.

I got a whole bunch of .125W resistors if you aren't dropping too much power through them.

so, truck started running extremely rough for chelsea on her way home from school tonight, no check engine light, i immediately thought something to do with the injector.
The last time I did the injector (a little over a year ago) i failed to to the nut kit. So I pulled off the thing in the middle of the plenum to look inside the intake plenum, instantly a very strong raw fuel smell, and looked around in there, and noticed quite a bit of raw fuel on the drivers side, so, hopefully, its just the nylon fuel lines and not the injector itself, I am going to be pulling the plenum off tomorrow and doing some investigating..

On a side note Thog.. so i used the 68 ohm resistors on the white LED's, in each series.
Then I played around and put one 68 ohm on the power wire leading into the array, and it dimmed them down perfectly.
But man, these amber crees... holy crap are they bright.
