How many drops are you going to need from the terminal block?
LED's N-E-E-D resistors in series with them to limit the current. If you're just
gonna buy a handful of bare LEDs, you're gonna need resistors to go with them.
If you just plunk the bare LEDs across 12 volts, since they're polarity sensitive,
one way will not light, and the other way will light up like a flashbulb! One shot
and it's toast. If you're planning on having the LEDs ON with the engine OFF,
I would NOT use an inverter. They draw a bit of current, and you might find
yourself with a dead battery at the end of the night. The inverter that I use
for work in my car, will not even power on unless the engine is running. It's
designed to sense the battery voltage, and if it's NOT 13.5V or higher, it will
NOT power up. Send me a PM with you're email address, and I'll be more than
glad to give you a hand, as well as some education, off line. I'll even give you
my cell number in case you run into any problems. Together, the both of us
SHOULD be able to get you squared away with what you want to do!
