So after one side of my gauge had no lights I went and replaced them with blue LED's (these ones http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID...p;form=KEYWORD). They worked fine for a while but now the middle and right one are flickering which is really annoying and distracting tonight. Does anyone know why this might be happening I would be very thankful

Do what I do and buy a pack of 100 LED's from China for like $3 and make all the bulbs yourself. Then whatever resistors you need are easily gotten from your nearest Radio Shack. Better, cheaper, and the pride of doing it yourself and saving a good chunk of change. Celebrate your savings with a case of lager.

This will let the LEDs have exactly the needed voltage all the time. These are more expensive than bulk resistors though. -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
