REFLECTOR: fuel sight gauge

[Joe Ewen]

Grigore,

Recheck the instructions that came with the units. Mine had the required resistor already installed.  Mine is connected to 12V (dimmed) and remember diodes are polarity sensitive, Red=positive and Black=negative.

  Does anybody know how to electrically install the Atkinson sight fuel gauges?  In other words, can one just connect the little LED to 12V?  I tried to connect it to 1.5V, then 3V and did not lit; I'm a bit affraid to expose it directly to 12V.  If resistors are supposed to be serialized with the LED, does anybody know what resistors and where this info can be found?

  Thank you,
  Grigore
