Alright, I have a bit of an ambitious project going on. I am building a model car and I want to set up LEDs for the head and taillights. They are to be run off battery power. The hardest part will be the rear turn signals which are a sequential sequence. Can anyone help me come up with a wiring diagram complete with hardware I will need and how to make lights work sequentially?

You mean like a chaser?  You'll need a 4017 sequencer chip and maybe a 555 timer chip (along with a few auxiliary components).  I should have the schematics for an old chaser prototype around here somewhere, I'll let you know if I can find more. (Just FYI, I took electronics in high school and college, so I know a thing or two about this stuff. ^.=.^)

Call me Naetholix, Neox, Neo or Steve, I respond to all of them. =)
