I have a 1970 camaro and I am trying to use LED's for as many things as I
can and keep the car looking stock. I have some super bright white LED's
that run off about 30 mA each and work pretty good here in my room but I
know in daylight it will not be so great.  I built a circuit and I have been
pulsing the LED with approx 80-100mA (according the the inline current
sensor) and it is VERY bright and seems to be able to take it for quite a
while(tested for 3 hours).  Once I have 4 LED's on there though, I am
actually drawing more power than the light bulb took.  My main goal is to
reduce power consumption in my car from as many spots as possible.  Has
anyone pulsed LED's like this and have any advice for me?  Any information
is greatly appreciated.  I have been varying the on/off times of the pulse
to achieve what I feel is a happy medium so the LED is bright but won't harm
it.
