Hi,

I need to replace some resistors that got rust and water damage from an LED spoiler brake light (12v).

Please could you help me identify the resistor type and rating:

The resistor is light blue in overall colour and has 5 bands on it.

From left to right the bands are:

Brown - Grey - Blue - Silver - Brown

Thanks,
Mo

Thanks for the link, using the info on that page I've worked out I need resistors of:

1.86 ohms with a tolerance of 1%

However I have not been able to get hold of these is there a commonly available resistor value that I can use as a substitute?

Thanks, Mo
