LED lights

[Tunz]

hey hows it goin guys?

I recently picked up a mini chrome speedo for a buddy of mines bobber project and told him I would wire it up for him. Only thing is i have never actually wired LED lights before!! I believe the speedo has, oil, nuetral, signal and high beam indicators. The bike is for his wife and she's a new rider so they want it to be half safe for her. I can wire it no prob at all, but just wondering about what sort of "resistors?" I should use? Would I need to wire one in for each light? This question has probably been beat to death on here, but i couldnt find anything i was lookin for in a quick search and wanna go over and help him git er done soon! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks - Tunz

Should have them built in. Where is the speedo from?

Unless you're adding the LED's yourself, it'll be plug and play.

If you're adding the LED lights yourself, you'll probably need a separate resistor for each. The resistance of the resistors will depend on how powerful the LEDs are, but if they're pretty average LEDs, not super-bright ones or anything, you'll only need low value resistors, such as a 470 ohm. The resistors are basically only there to protect the LEDs from very high current flow.
