Step 3Install your LEDs

Install your LEDs
OK, the most interesting step!

Now, I have to ask you: Where do you want your LEDs?
Left and Right of the Front-Wheel?
On your Steering-Wheel, like I did?
Or somewhere?
Try to find out!
The important point is: The circuit delivers ca. 300 mA. You know, that LEDs don´t "work" with voltage but with current. The Voltage adjusts itself then.

That means:
...your LEDs should have Specs of 300 mA (350mA) if you drive them (up to three) in series.
OR
...your LEDs should have Specs of 150 ma if you make 2 pairs of 2 parallel-connected LEDs  and the Pairs connected in series. (I used this way)

If you did, install them and solder the Wires to the Circuit-exit (the right side of the circuit).

I protected the LEDs with transparent Lacquer against water.  Then I made two Housings. They break the light and protect the LEDs, too.
On the pictures can you see them.
