OK so I think I did mine parallel. The "- lead" is the ground in your diagram? If so I did mine parallel. That is okay? Thank you again!
currygoat11:
Here's a diagram of what I did. Parallel..
This will work no? Again thanks for your patience as I'm kinda new to this!
Chris:
Just use what you already have and hook up to the PC's 5V leads instead of the 12V leads. Mine is set up that way with the 20 year old lamps it came with and it's running fine.
currygoat11:
yeah well the 6v lamps are now blown, so I bought the 12v from the automotive store hooked up to the 12v PC power supply (like diagram above). Seems to be working fine. Hope I did it right!
