L.E.D. bulb help

Do you guys know what kind of LED resistor you would use for a 12 V system?

I wanna run led lights inside my ride but you need a resistor for the bulbs. Pics or links? THX.

hey xxx!! yeah man.. ill give u link.. PM me if u got questions..

http://24.96.59.129:8080/LEGENDtuner...s/LED/LED.html

it says use a 560-OHM resistor..

-------------------------------------------------
edit:

O.. u said 12V?? holy crap.. the 560-Ohm is for the 3.7V... i dunno what the 12V needs.. maybe 3 times higher? so.. around 1600-Ohm? do they have these?

Thx for the help I figured it out with oms law. I did 3 leds in series ill post pics when i'm finished installing. I was thinking of making an led panel for our taillights so they kinda look like the G35 tails but dunno if I should do a circular configuration or just cover the whole taillight.
