Posted - Sep 17 2007 : 8:58:18 PM i want to mount 2 leds into the face of my skull lighter so that when pushed in, the leds will illuminate.how can i go about doing this? leds are mounted and wired in parallel with current limiting resistor.when pushed in the heater coil short circuts to ground ,causing current to heat the coil.I know that if you take the positive at the high resistance of the coil that may work but if there is an easier way i am in need of help.

Thats all i kno ;)
