Yeah I guess I do. Now that this is all not like a foreign language to me, I think I'm getting better. I just have to see it done before I can do it. I'm a lot further than I was. Radioshack has LEDs for $1.50ea. That's too much isn't it?

I'm going to buy the supplies today. Would there be any need for another power source like you setup, for just these 8 lights? I might put one in the jewel too, but that will be it.

No man, no need for more power i ran 16 leds off the stock power and had no probs at all.
LEDs use very little power to run so just pop them in and your good to go.

Lol, dude, hit up ebay!!!
I got 100 LEDs in multiple colors too if you want for only like $13.
I might go with the multiple color if they will work. I'm set on green for right now though.

Yeah man thay will get the jub done just keep in mind that the resistors that come with them are for 12v so youll need to pick up some other resistors for the controller ports.

The only problem the item is in china so it will take a while for it to ship over here. _________________
