DIY: Vtec indicator light

[yo44boichris]

yeah its gay lol. i aint no scammer man. but i did the same exact thing as you did. Vtec lagged for awhile then it stopped working.

except! i did the blue and yellow stripe wire. I didnt see a blue and green wire

just did this!! really cool! can't believe how early v-tec engages. it seems if i hit the gas hard at all it engages after about 2000rpms.

Would anybody happen to have a clear picture of where they put the resistor in? Or is it even necessary?

my LED came with one already attached...

I see, and does it matter which wire from the LED goes to the ground/vtec wire?

yes, LEDs are polarity sensitive, that's what a diode does is only allow electricity to flow one direction.

cathode is usually the shorter leg.

Is there enough energy from the vetch wire to power 4 led? I've already started the project and everything but I just have to finish connecting wires,
