Well, I am not quite sure....
In my experiences with my LEDs EVERY time I have bought non Cbus LEDs they have started flickering and flashing after a few months, some even straight away.... About 2 months ago I decided to just check out the Cbus versions of the same LEDs and to my surprise not one has started flashing yet... So this leads to my question, is it remotely possible that the 6th Gen Celica (Or maybe even the ADM version) has a canbus system? or have I just had a statistical anomaly lol -------------------- ![]() ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Some colours are 1.8V or so, but usually the listings on eBay are good about providing all of the specs you'll need. Hence the calculator I provided earlier, as it gives the optimum solution for whatever arrangement you're needing. A voltage regulator is a good idea for doing all of your LEDs in the dash/console. Might be harder to find a spot for it in other places though. Could always play it safe and spec it out to whatever your car reads at 3K RPM.

If you're going to do it might as well get the superbrights though haha. You can wire the regulators in right where you tap the 12v source, so you will still be able to hide them. They aren't very big, size of a quarter at most. Something like this, max output current of 1.5 Amps, which is a LOT of Leds. http://www.newark.com/stmicroelectronics/l...ment%20Products This post has been edited by czwalga: Aug 12, 2013 - 9:12 PM -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
