Made my very own little 'product' free!

All the LEDs and wire I stole from school

Well I asked teacher, loving Grade 10 COMP ENG TECH ! Im waiting till my dad gets home hook it up to 12V from the cargo (02 CRV) and run it through the driver seat adjustment bar. Too bad they arent BRIGHT leds but free is good.

Its impossible to repair, the LED's are burned from a STRAIGHT 12V DC from the car. I have to redo the whole thing, on Monday "Sir... can I have 20 LED's?" "For WHat?" "I blew up my home-made project (hands the damaged one)"

I tried it on 9VDC Battery (it was a dead one) and no need for resistor.

Its not the cost, hell I'll just steal them from class its the 4 hours I spent, soldering, drilling, stripping wires. Oh well, never put 10 LEDS in parallel in a live 12VDC without a resistor.

Hopefully it will light up the legroom dimly at night, its red, don't want the police attention. I use to have 2 cold cathode tubes but it broke, damn those were bright.
