Depending on what voltage you intend to run your led,s on.You may need a resistor.There was a Forum post on calculating
resistor value required. John

The post which should help you . Is under miscellaneous, electrical & electronics. By Crafty Sod dated June 22nd 2010.Hope it
helps. I myself much prefer leds to gow,s. Nothing is more annoying than to suffer a bulb failure.Often resulting in much
difficulty to change once built in. John.

Are they transistors or resistors?  One is a three legged device that switches current on and off, the other is a two legged device that limits current.  Asking for the right item saves a lot of grief later on.
