I bought my leds off ebay. I got 20 leds and 20 resistors. I tried for awhile last night to get it working. But when i would finally solder and get two togther, and i put it on the battery ony one would work. How do you wire these up or would it be easier just to get one bigger resistor for all of them?

 

What do you mean one would work?

The lights are designed so that only one is on when that certain button is pressed. Or are you trying to say that you've tried all the buttons and out of (don't know exactly how many) I think 7 leds that are placed in there 1 worked? And pics would help a lot

 

LEDs are directional. If you put them in the wrong direction, they won't work. Hope it helps, you didn't give much information in your first post.

 

I think you meant to say they have different polarities, + and -.

 

yup, polarity. Thanks.

 

sorry did not give much detail...i did not know much. this was my first time soldering and doign this led stuff with resistors. I can hook a wire up to somehtng but it was little more complicated to me.

I got it does though after acouple hours and a few burns. I even did my dimmer switch light and cruise control light. My door switches are next weekend. it looks so sweet now i will post some pics.

i did each led on a sepert line and i connected all the lines to one line, and got power from the dimmer switch that i taped for my indiglo's. so they come on with the lights. And jst connected the engitive to some random screw i found in the car. no wires and looks awsome!
