What size leds did you use? 3mm? or 5mm? or ???

All of the LEDs are 5mm 10,000mcd. I'm using 220ohm resistors in this configuration:

Sorry the pic is so small. I tried cutting and pasting and it didn't work too well.

The schematic recommends 150ohm resistors, but I had a bunch of 220s laying around. The resistor value is a minimum value requirement. The higher the value of resistor, the lower the light output.

Thanks for the info. Im thinking on trying it out. Its a nice mod and looks great for night crawling.
The only time I messed with leds before was on a Jugg. These bright white leds look to be a great show for rollbars as well.
