Led Lights
Can LED lights be wired in a series? I read somewhere that eac has to be wirded seperately and that wouldn't work for my bright idea I have in mind.

The motor cycle guys have a relay that makes it possable to use them in a series.
aslong as one bulb in the series for flashers is a normal bulb that will draw enough to make it work the flasher fuse. In line is possable for solid lights that don't need to flash.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Series wiring of LEDs is quite possible as long as at most one isn't put in line backwords.

An appropriately sized resistor in parallel with the LED's would serve the same function to create a load to trip a flasher.rjewkes wrote:aslong as one bulb in the series for flashers is a normal bulb that will draw enough to make it work the flasher fuse.
