The parts on the back are for "voltage regulation" and thus "current control". Your car will make anything from 12V to well over 14V. If you want your leds to last, you will need to control the current flowing through them.


Noticed the link, are you running the LED's in a series circuit or parallel? I only see the one resistor so I'm guess parallel and what all would I need to regulate the voltage so that it's a constant 12v? do you have any more pics of the voltage regulator circuit?
