back to the led in sidemarker and dome light. i purchased a pack of 4 led's made by varad. there called hyper led's and all they need is a 12v source and ground. they have the little diode light thing then like 1/2in down theres a thin square that has the two wires coming out of it. i imagine it has that current regulator thing built in bc you only hook up 12v and ground. the unit is really tiny though so it can probably be easily placed as a blinker, dome light, etc.<BR>heres there link <A HREF="http://www.varad.com/hyper_leds.htm" TARGET=_blank>varad</A><BR>Dan
