When I drop by work on the way to the coast tomorrow, I'll get the
specs from the LED package for current draw and calculate the power. I
am using 6 of the LEDs so it oughta be fairly bright. If I remember
right, it was less than 1/2 of a 12 watt bulb. I am speccing 1 watt
resistors for it though (6 resistors in parallel each in series with an
LED).


Are the LEDs part of the parallel branches of the circuit? Meaning:

12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground
12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground
12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground
12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground
12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground
12v_________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_________LED_________Ground


or are they:

12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\____________LED_____Ground
12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_____l______ LED_____Ground
12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_____l______ LED_____Ground
12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_____l______ LED_____Ground
12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_____l______ LED_____Ground
12v__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\_____l______ LED_____Ground
