Make sure you go for superbrites if you are replacing the lamps.
"Ordinary" red LEDs are in the 10-30 mCd range. You should be shopping in the 500+ mCd range. If you get the 10 Cd ones you may end up with something that will blind other motorists at night, but you can always drop the current a little. Each LED will draw about 30-70 mA at around 2V. You will probably end up wiring them in series-parallel, and you will find in that case that some LEDs are a little more "greedy" than others, and will draw all of the current off, so if you plan to use a series-parallel arrangement, buy extras and then test all of them to match voltages. If you don't want to be bothered with all of that, you can just use more resistors. |
