I just bought 30 red led lights for the inside of my car. Each led needs 1.8-2.4 volts of power to be lit. I have no idea how to hook these up or where i would get my power from. The power from the back of my head unit is 12v but would fry these led's. I need to know how to get around 2 volts to these things and how i would wire them. Pictures or websites would help. Thankyou
