Thanks Rod on the info for a SMD, I've seen them but never knew what they were called. Len

SMD = Surface Mount Device, that is, a chip LED, transistor, capacitor, resistor
As opposed to an axial lead device, those 2-contact devices with a solid, rigid wire emerging from each end of the resistor or capacitor or diode
On another note: Each colour of LED & size requires different energy. Each colour requires a certain voltage across the internal LED junction. The difference between the power source voltage & what the LED requires is absorbed by the series resistor, often referred to as the ballast resistor.

Hi Nick
Please post some pics of your running (side) light fittings so we can advise how to fit the Leds

Agreed in all aspects of the virtues of the LED's. Cool operating, long life, and a host of available colors. The smallest "chips" can fit into tiny places and easily light up running lights, deck lights, and if run on lower voltage than what they're rated at will produce a lower brightness.

This is one of my Tug's, I used 0402 size SMD for all the lights. here is a like to a resistor calculator that I have used that worked for me.

That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.
