intercooler LED

[Chief]

Soo i got some led pods comming, And i NEVER delt with these babys before. I want to place them around my intercooler. Question is: Whats the best way to hook all these up to a swtich? doo run them all together? than run one wire to switch n back to battery, and ground? Or run all the pods seperate to battery/ swtich? I tried lookin up on yahoo, but cant find anything on hook leds up. thanks alot guys.

______________ = wire


battery (+) ____________ flip switch (doesnt matter what prong on the switch)________(+) LEDs

battery (-) _________________________ (-) LEDS

yea i understand that but each pod is gonna have a seperate wire? doo i join them all together to make a single wire?

run them in parallel, not in series... or else the lights will get dimmer/brighter are you go down the line. btw, it DOES matter which way the wires go in/out of an LED (because they are forward-biased diodes). the diagrams are all way too tough to explain in text. wikipedia should provide awesome answers on parallel wiring and LED's

well the pods are already wired up they just have a postive and negative wire on them? but ow do i run 4 different wires to a switch?
