Octane Lightbar Ideas
So, my Octane arrived with both lamps on the lightbar dead. Woo. What a surprise. I didn't know the current LEDs would draw from there, but it'd surely be less than the incandescent lamps, which are as much of a resistor as a LED is a diode, so I put a blue LED straight into one position, and a green LED with a 0603 resistor crammed into one of the holes, with the LED cathode trimmed and soldered to the other side of said resistor, as a test.
In any case, this is a flaky setup, and neither of the LEDs are much happy. I don't think my hack was elegant (and I remember just guesstimating the resistor...at 47ohm, if memory serves. Anyone got a better idea on how to properly rebuild this thing?
 I fix basket cases.
