You gotta remember...when your car is running the voltage will be almost 15V, the voltage put out from your alternator. When the engine isn't running, your voltage can get as low as 10V. The resistor will allow you to run a couple of LEDs without them changing intensity as much. If you want them to stay the same intensity throughout the whole voltage range you need to do a little circuit work....let me know if that's the case and I'll whip up a schematic for you.

According to this, four 3V LEDs will still vary in brightness.

I've never tried LEDs, so I didn't know if there would be problems with dimming. What are you lighting up with yours Silent?

Oops, had yours confused with a different one (one without LEDs). Don't mind me, I can see clearly now...
