i would like to do this on my 95 se but i jsut have some questions before i go ahead. i have some 5mm led;s i will be mounting inside the mirror and wiring them up to my turning signal;s/ I would like them to light up only when i put on the turning signals.
my questions is what size resistor should i use and how can i splice them in to work with the turning signals? thx

I am trying to figure out the same thing. The LEDs I bought were for 2.1v i/p. I had something like 10M resistance and it was still at 8v. The equation to figure it out is
E=I/R
E = voltage
I = amperage
r = resistance
Hopefully you remember some algebra cause I don't.

I believe that the correct equation is V = I * R. Where v=voltage, I=current, and R=resistance.

Actually.. voltage is notated as an E, but yes, it is multiplied, not divided..

Its not that hard actually. Someone I sold LEDs to a while back did it, and it looked awsome. Its amazing all the things people are coming up with on CEG.
