I am in the process of changing the tail lights on my motorcycle for LEDs. It's something i've been thinking about for sometime now. i haven't any experience with electronics but am willing to give it a go. I bought myself 40 ultra bright clear LED and 10 resistors. The guy who sold me the LEDs said i should wire them in a series of 4! Does this sound like the best approach to take? What are the advantages of wiring them in series as opposed to parallel?
I originally intended the LEDs to be the stop lights on the motorcycle but recently noticed on a car that the stop lights and running lights appeared to be the same! Does this sound plausible? I would like to use the same LEDs for both purposes, is there a way, perhaps use different resistors for the stop lights to increase the intensity of light!!! Sorry now i'm babbling. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
