Default Re: Make LEDs Dimmer?

Welcome to CE, RockMonkey!

Oh.. are those LEDS used in cars? Is there by any chance an amp rating on the package when you got it? That will determine what range of resistance values you can use to make it dimmer.

In normal electronics, the standard LED needs around 220 ohm of resistance for protection. The one you have might already have built in.
