Too bright

*LMAO* I hooked up my blue LED, waited until dark, turned the fan switch on, it looks ok from the side but DAAAYYUUMMNNN it lights up the headliner on the t-top area *LMAO*

too funny guys .. ya should see it ... I used a 3500 MCD LED with a 2.2K resistor .. too bright ... I'll try using a 3.3K next .. if not ... a 5K


I guess I could get a bright red one too .. and switch them both back and forth .. and have cops pull me over ... lol .. for blinking blue and red lights

Save your time and go straight to a 10K. If its THAT bright then all those small increments won't do much.

vorgath, you ever resolve your fuel pump issue? i kinda lost track of your thread and been busy as hell working on my car and working, in general... but she's done, as far as build and all that - just gotta time, tune, etc., then it's all open road for me!

Yeah

It was the fuel pump driver, a 39 cent transistor, but of course I didn't know that. So I learned the hard way. Now it takes me about 30 minutes to fix it (since it went down again after I had fixed it the first time)
