12v battery or 13.8v running/charging, doesn't make much difference at all.

yer.. just attached it to my dome light to have a look.. jack all light coming out!!

ii have used 560ohm res. with these leds b4 (my two buttons) and htey are bright as hell ! why are they now s**t ?:( gues i'll have to go and get some 380 resistors!

thanks datamine!

I'm no expert, but is it because the leds (and resistors) are in series (thus adding all the ohm rating of the resistors??

Wire them in parallel with one resistor each, if you want to do them in series you'll need to calculate what value resistor you actually need. PLus the 380Ohm value I'm using is specific to blue/white LEDs, the other colours don't need as much voltage, so require a higher value resistor.

just tested
4x 4500mcd leds with one 560ohm res
and all worked good :S

and then 4x 4500mcd leds with one 390ohm res
worked good :s

ok.. i still dont understand..
tried 5x 5000mcd with one 390ohm res...
and barely any light is coming out!
wtH!!

i got 2 lots of LED's here
1 = 5leds with 5 resistors.. hardly any light
1 = 5 leds with 1 resistor.. hardly any light

please explain!
