LED Signal Lamps
EW,
Is this problem with pot holes and right shoulders why you drive in circles, well not really circles, more like ovals?  Really have not notice others from Michigan driving like that! Guess they are using rental cars...ROF
As to those six tickets, did you not know how to say, Yess Surrr politely with you head bowed reverently? Maybe you need to add bumper sticker, “We don’t care how you did it up North!” When are they showing this on Top Cops? Thanks for the chuckles.
Wait, you did not have your tractor with the "Lace" sunscreen on the trailer did you? If so wonder how you got away with six tickets... Must stop, side hurting..

Harbor Freight's latest newsletter is selling a pair of submersible LED trailer lights for $39.99. It includes 25' of wiring harness and license plate bracket. They are also selling a 4" round LED trailer taillight for $12.99.

It is recommended to use a Higher Voltage Power supply for LEDs. You are correct about the Transformer, Voltage Regulators which look like SCRs are used to keep the circuit voltage constant a Capactitors my be used to keep the drops from affecting the circuit. Permanent drops such as a bad alternator could cause your LEDs to operate below spec and make them unstable in performance. You may operate a 3 volt LED on a 12 volt power supply and what you would need to know is what to use for a Dropping Resistor's Ohms. The LED will Drop 3 volts of the 12 volts and you will need to dissipate the remaining 9 volts and to do so you will use a dropping resistor. What this means is this, it isn't altering the Voltage for the ramining circuit but rather for the calculatiing of the dropping resistor, so Take your 12 volts or Automotive with a good Alternator run at 13.8 volts (no draw or drain) and subtract the 3 volts of the LED that leaves 10.8 volts now devide that by the current of the LED which different voltage LEDs have different current ratings based on color etc. Let's use 25ma for reference. 10.8 devide by .025 equals 432 so you will need a 432 ohm dropping resistor to be sure the LED circuit sees 13.8 volts. What I do not remember is if that is Kilo Ohms or just ohms, been too long.
P.S. it has been 12 years since I left Tandy and done any real work with them. I have no doubt things have changed, I have noted LED Flashlites and not too long ago you would not be able to afford one, that was true with the Calculator as well. Demand in electronics brings Prices DOWN, unlike other market areas.

Kenny. Kenny. Kenny. You leave me speechless sometimes. How can I follow that? I was able to get away without paying $1400 in fines when he let me go on a FEMA Exemption, BUT I did have to correct all the DOT issues.
