Not sure which forum to post this, so I figured I’d try here.
I’m installing a small Bluetooth amp in hot rod, and would like to have a power indicator light on the dashboard for when the amp is turned on. The amp has a small led power indicator soldered onto the board itself, so I have two questions:
1) would the power running to that little led be sufficient to run a larger led (described as 12v) if i desoldered the small led and soldered the larger led’s wires in place?
2) if not, could I use the small led’s power to trigger a relay for the larger led, and what type of relay should I use?
Thanks for any advice.
