All of this just reinforces that i have not the slightest idea about lighting and resistors and anything else either pretty much.
I thought as the LED will be 12V ones they be hook straight up to a 12V source and that's it.I haven't recieved them yet but i don't think it said anything about there values when i ordered them.They were just 5mm 12V LED's.Now i read i need to have resistors also which leads me to another question.Do i need a resistor on each LED or one resistor that'll handle all the LED's on it's own and wire it into the feed that goes to all the LED's instead.How i was planning it was to have the power in source go to the three point's.Two wire's running to the halogens and one wire that'll feed the 6-8 LED's.I'm really lost on it all,even with your explaining there.But that's why i posted here,i know some of you guy's do know a thing or two about all this stuff as you've shown.
Chris,the halogen's i want purely for there look mate,mostly while they are not switched on,but also the effect when they are turned on as well.The original model had globes that look very similar in there appearence,so it's mostly just for the look while they are not on and as i mentioned that'll be 99% of the time.I've also gone away from trying to run this on batteries,the transformer is a betta option.
