Check Leds Before Installation

[Shaggy1969]

Purchased some individual LEDs of eBay and want to check (1) they work and (2) how bright they are.

Is there an easy way to hook them up somewhere an check?

Cheers.

see If you have a 12v adapter lying around, touch them on the battery terminals or temporarily connect them to a 12v aux plug or piggyback fuse. Take the lamp out of the cab light and touch the wires to the terminals...... there’s a few to go at

12v LEDS as above (ie side lights)

If there 2-5v single LEDS you will need an inline resistor before going across 12v ( ie ambient lighting)

Got a pic of them?

No resistor will make them go black and never work again so make sure to check if you need one or not

Cheers guys.

Here's a link to them:

They have resistors built in

just connect them to a 9v battery to test
