Hello everyone, I'm new here and was hoping to find some direction on a possible project. I would like to make an LED dimmer that is controlled by a 5-6ohm rheostat. Here's what I'm doing. I want to change out bulbs in a couple of my cars instrument clusters to LEDs, but the stock dimmer circuit reportedly doesn't dim LED's well as it was just a simple rheostat in series with the incandescent bulbs. I want to keep the stock rheostat as a control, but somehow use it to control a more sophisticated circuit (like the 555 timer circuit) to dim the LEDs. Is this possible or is there some other method that would work?
Thanks
Thanks
