A cheapo LED will probably be happy with about 20mA. The current determines how much series resistance is required. 3) If your LED specimen happens to have a Vf of 3.2V it might not even light, or will light dimly. with a 3V supply. 4) A CR2032 can provide only a small current and has a short life-time. Usually the replacement type LED bulbs (many LEDs per bulb unit) are designed to divide the 12 volts across each of them to achieve the correct voltage on each individual LED (~ 1.9-3.6 volts usually). The bulbs have a couple rows of 3 or 4 LEDs in series (12v / 4 = 3 volts) bunched together.
The new LEDs are simply ON/OFF and have 2 wires. Since LEDs do not draw as much power as the stock filament bulbs, load resistors (that come with the LEDs) are included. These resistors get very hot because they pass a lot of current so the electronics on the motorcycle will not think there is a burnt bulb.
Step 2: Install the load resistors in your vehicle. Once you have purchased the proper VRES load resistors installing them is simple. The resistors need to be installed to the wiring of the bulb at the light socket. Plug the adapter harness you purchased with the VRES resistor into the 9005/9006 plug. If installing in V3 Tirton system this
LED Current Limiting. Resistors are key in making sure LEDs don't blow up when power is applied. The typical forward voltage is the voltage which is required to make an LED light up, and it varies (usually somewhere between 1.7V and 3.4V) depending upon the color of the LED. A pull-up resistor is used when you need to bias a

Assuming the best case of 3.0 V and a resistor of 330 Ohms and using Ohm's law R = U / I we find that the current is about 1 mA and thus the brightness of the LED is rather low. Decreasing the resistor will help to some degree but be aware that this is borderline in any case. Say 33 Ohms will get you about 10 mA which might be ok.

Not just any 330 Ω resistor will work for us, we need the resistor to meet or exceed the resulting power dissipation. Note: A resistor's power is rated in watts. The formula for electrical power is P (Watts) = I (Amperage) * V (Volts)
