I have installed Viper 560XV and everything is wokring fine. I am thnking of adding one extra status LED just the same as the one with bright blue with two wires, blue and red.

My question is can I just add(connect) this extra LED's blue wire to the existing blue wires and red wire to the red ? without adding resistor ?, in other word, the parallel connection.

The reason why I want to add one more LED is depending on sun shine, only one LED is not easily visible.

Thank you in advance for you help.

When adding more than one LED I would recommend wiring them in series.

Twelvoltz,

Thanks for the advise, I just want to make sure that in series connection

connet to the (+) from the brain to LED-1(+) connect to LED-1(-) to LED-2(+)

LED-2(-) connect to connct to the brain(-)

Is this right ?, I do not want to fry anything, no resistor is needed ?

Thank you again for your advise, very much appreciated

That is a correctly wired series circuit, yes.
