Building custom LED light board? I need info from someone that has experience..I have a 1973 truck and would like to build a 30+ LED board for the brake lights. Problem is I'm not sure what to use to reduce the voltage down from 12v and also if there are any LED bulbs out there that would come on with the running lights and get brighter when the brakes are applied.
I did a search but turned up nothing worth following..if someone has suggestions or can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Garrett
EDIT: I realize you use resisters for the voltage regulation but what voltage do I need to go down to..1.5?

you would most likely need some dual intensity leds. whenever i have partaken in a led project i always head over to candlepowerfourms.com . really helpful people over there than can most likely tell you exactly what you need and how to go about it. good luck with the project.
