We all got to start somewhere, man.
Take a look at some of my first customs, they are craptacular. lol

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
I have a question regarding LED circuits. Does anyone have a schematic or diagram for how to make a circuit that is activated with an ON/OFF switch?

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Quite simple, actually, Malwave. You just need an LED, 2 lengths of red wire, 1 length of black wire, a switch, and a battery.
Don't have a real picture, but it goes something like this:
1 length of red wire-Switch-second length of red wire
LED---------------------------nothing-------------------------battery
--------------single length of the black wire-------------
The red wire is positive, and the black negative.
Hope this helps.

ignore the . since it wont let me use that many spaces.
You may need a resistor somewhere in the circuit, but I can't recall how many Ohms it needs to be.
The flat side of the LED is the negative.

Just google "Resistor calculater" and you should be fine

I appreciate the help guys, but I have no idea how much voltage and current an LED bulb can take. That pretty much determines how many ohms the resistor will have, right?
(me = never going to be an electrician ^^; )

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
if you stay with 3 volts battery (2x1.5volt each, connected end to end) for a single led you dont need resistor.
most led on the market are 3 volts. two button battery (like in watch) or 2 aaa or aa are enough

perfect. so if I got this right, 3 volts to an LED to switch to the battery.
anyone know if The Source sells YELLOW LEDs?

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
I'm thinking to repaint a couple transformers(hasbro) and was wondering what are to the steps by steps and what type of paint is suggested to use to make sure that it doesnt peel off. Do I need to sand down the figures first?
Thank you for input.
