Can we have someone do a thorough tutorial on how to make an LED network? I know it requires LED lights (duh), wiring (dunno which kind), a transistor or resistor or something like that, a switch and a batter attatchment (most commonly a 9 volt one i think)

Thanks :)

materials required are leds battery wires optional are swtich (very useful) battery holder (also very useful) don't know about transistors and whatnot. our led on our car puzzle is leds wiring battery holder battery and switch

and yes a tutorial would be nice. i know a lot of people have been wanting one for a long time. (thatround how come you ahvn't made one you did led up your s-class. i don't know how to do leds in the cars my dad did the puzzle not me)

it all came assembled. it used a 9v battery, uh 5 mm LEDs or whatever teh standard size is. It wasn't cheap. Either it eas $20 or $40 i can't exactly remember lol sorry about that. Successful? Yes but it was a PITA because the wiring was so cheap. it came with 2 red and 2 white.

what i did was take a rechargable battery box and just run wires from that to the LEDs
