And a few others-

Right now I have 100 solders left(a fraction of what Ive done so far) because all I have to do is conne...

Watch the videos in my posts above. I have one lit up in every video.

Yes I could do the red LEDs. I would assume you would want clear LEDs that produce red light instead of red LEDs that produce red light, that way it would be totally clear. I just need to order some a...

Find out how many ohms the resistor needs to be. Or find the voltage the fuel pump operates at and use ohms law to calculate the required resistance to drop 13 volts to the correct voltage.

Dont paint it, sand it and clear coat it, it will look like chrome or stainless depending on how much sanding you do
