Hi all, this is my first post in this forum so go easy on me as I`m still learning.
I have a Cobra 148GTL and the signal meter bulb has had enough and died.
I`ve tryed to put a Blue LED bulb in its place. Without a resistor attached to the LED it works fine , but only for about a whole of 5 minutes then it blows. With a 1.5K resistor attached it works fine but the dimmer switch doesn`t make a difference.
Does anyone hear know of a way I can get this Blue LED to work on the dimmer switch and also not blow up.
The LED I am using is a 8000mcd Super BLUE LED.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
