I'm looking at getting some led's for my truck. These lights are 12v. How would I go about wiring them. What kind of power supply. thanks

i often go with the 3, 4, and 5 volt leds from radioshack, that way you can wire them with power from a nine volt and a couple of slide resistors. As for wiring 12v lights you'd need to either use two six volt watch type (slim round) batterys in series, or 4 3volt watch type batteries in series. remember to use a good on off switch, and maybe even a momentary (switch) for testing.

good luck

the place i found them at is where train modelers get lights at. what kind of power supply do they use. and what about wiring? how would you wire those watch batteries?

They also sell some LEDs and neon as well... We've gotten both the neon and the LEDs and they work quite well.
