The led project is nearly complete...On the radio there are a few hotspots but I will be putting all the pieces back together tomorrow for a final look. I will try and post pictures of the completed project. Thank you for all the help.

ok since the old bulbs are wired in parallel I will just put an led with a 1/4 watt 560 ohm resistor in each spot that had an incandescent bulb. The "directional" pattern of my led's will be diffused by a clear plastic piece that is part of the radio faceplate. My Led's are rated @ 3.6 V 20 Ma...

again thank you...If the old incandescents are wired in parallel and I will be using those same spots on the CB: Should I use a resistor with each led in each spot or just one resistor to cover them all?

vk6kro, Thank you for the reply...I know led's are polarized & I have set up a 12 v power source for that circuit board. I soldered in lead wires that I could just touch with the led to determine the positive flow of voltage(Trust me I have been researching if there is a way to determine (+)...

Hello all...I have a led project I have been doing in my vehicle...I have a Bose/Clarion radio that has blown incandescent bulbs. I have already done the instrument cluster & climate control with drop-in led's so I decided to try & fix the radio. My problem is that the radio has soldered in...
