Hey all!

Was wondering if you all would be so kind as to examine this diagram and give me some feedback. It is a modified version of a diagram I found in CardCollector's economy board wiring guide

And here is mine. I'm still not 100% on the transistor , but if I've read correctly, it allows me to use power direct from the batt pack and bypass using power from the board? Also, the diodes were a suggestion from the Jay Car guys (very little help in all) and so I'm not sure about them either. Anyway, thanks for looking!

You will want to wire the accent LEDs in parallel. so each led has a positive and negative lead spliced from the main LED.

I *think* the transistor setup will work. It looks right anyway... ;)

I hope it works for for you!

Gotcha. So maybe something like this?
