Electrical question

[Spot]

My Graves tail tidy has arrived!
So this means the number plate light gets ditched and replaced by 2 number plate bolts with LEDs in them.
The original number plate had just 2 wires but now my 2 LED bolt lights have 2 each.
So the question is......... Do I wire them in series or in parallel?

I'm tempted to say parallel... I think u mite blow a fuse in series bit don't quote me on that lol

wire parallel , if you put them in series ,they will only be half brightness !

in short ... put the 2 + with the original + & the 2 - with the original -

what big Ade said, leds like the polarity to be correct or no worky as well.

 

[UnluckySlats]

As above defo not series

 

[mooster62]

Parallel , correct polarity too

Parallel , correct polarity too

but....................12v .leds will shine just as bright on 6v as they will on 12v. i was messing with leds on my bike and used a 6-12v charger to power them when testing the soldering. they worked on either voltage, just as bright.


........but if the first 1 blows you wont get power to the 2nd one so parallel rules.......jus sayin'

Well I think that answers ur question lol

Wired in parallel and working great.Thanks to y'all for the responses.
