[YALEROYNOT]

[03alerospl]

^that looks scary

[cavaliers60]

x2. lol There's a reason it's the only one like it.....

[YALEROYNOT]

better then burning the s@#t out of your table or having to keep picking up the iron

YES i just did 50 leds. and i saw this thought i could have used it

lol dude, just put them in a series, could have been WAY easier and less time spent soldering, for sure!!

^sometimes its not practical to do.

and the only downside to that previous picture (solding gun holder) is:

DON'T SNEEZE!

if i recall, hes using that for his 3rd brake like.....i think its practical enough to do it in a series cause....well, good luck fitting 50 strips of wire behind there with LED's and not expect to snap a few leads

62 leds (to be exact) hooked to a 555 timer and 4017cmos counter. so the lights track ( 30 on each side ) when the turn signals are on. in order to do that you cant hook them in series because you have to hook the leds to the 4017 counter. I like a chalange what can i say . its that simple

Yea, i got them off ebay last night. All together with shipping it was $19. 100 red led's with resistors rated at 18kmcd. This is gonna be a great project... just wait...
