What can I do wth these? LED guys step in...[pic]

Okay, I have no experience with leds so I dont know much abou them.... Is there anything practical I can do with these?

This is the inside of a 2006 Acura RL taillight...I think I counted 32 leds but the problem is they are all connected to these metal individual boards and they're all in weird shapes...


Any Ideas? Is there a way I could still use the resistors on the board or these leds?

Suggestions/ideas/experience appreciated.....

looks like that board just controlls the turn sig -vs- brake lights / parking lights. you can use the LEDs if you want ... but what did you have in mind? if you have a meter, hood the board up to a 12v power source (like your cig lighter) and play with it. not sure exactly what you had in mind.

Were you thinking like LED tails?

That board is just a controller board. The LEDs could be taken out and used, no biggie. Just need Resistors.

I thought the resistors were the white little tube things on the circuit board? So the circuit board just controls how the lights function?..hmm.

Is there a particular size/brand of resistor that I would need to use resistor wise?

I would say nothing. 32 is no where close to what you need for tail lights. They are also too big to fit in the dash I would think.
