Rob Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Is there any difference between the power from the cigarette lighter, and a straight 12v from the battery? Redline mag, (I know ) were giving away some freebie little LEDs, so I wired them to my other footwell lights, rather than use the cigarette lighter, and they blew instantly, taking the footwell neons with them. The socket that came attached to the LEDs had no fuse or circuit board, so I don't know why it all blew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 LED's only need a 2v supply, so I'd guess there will be a small resistor somewhere in the socket you've cut off... Anything more that about 3v and they'll blow. Can't think why they'd take out anything else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 No, there was nothing but a shrink wrapped joint of cables straight into the lighter socket contacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
