I could probably set them up that way but would probably need two switches to turn on each color.
2 switches for each halo? i was thinking of using a single pull double throw (SPDT) switch. so it would be like:
red
off
white
and then theres 3 terminals on the switch, common top and bottom, so i could run either power or ground (either way it does what it needs to do). so lets say i go power to the switch and then go to the top of it for red power and then bottom for the white power
you just need a dpdt relay (double pole double throw) one side for amber when the relay kick for the turn signal, the other side for the white connected to the running light.
Gotcha. Figure that for making it into the turn signal.Quote:

Thanks. Since I am down at college it will be awhile before I get the relay because I can get them for free at my dad's work. And for the switch I aint sure if home depot carries thoseQuote:

Go to led dule
Scroll down on the Illumination Color box and select the color combo you want.
wow i need to go learn stuff before i look into ordering! awesome site! just wish i had a furrther expanded led knowlegde. time to learn! :)

Oh ok. Wasn't exactly sure what you meant by it. LEDs are pretty simple.Quote:
