you'll need 124ohms worth of resisters for every 3 blue LED's.
Resistors can be soldiered end to end to get the ohm rating you need 100ohm soldiered to a 50 ohm= 150 ohms
wire these in series -parallel
Like this: positive 12v into 124ohm resistor into + of LED out - of LED into + of next LED out - into + of next LEDout - to ground.
The above is a series circuit, now you can run as many sets of the above as you want.
Several sets off the same power supply is series parallel.
You could run 4 blue LED's in series with out a resistor but you would be underpowering them by a little bit, which should be fine.
So basically you take a wire, wire one end to pos., one end to neg., splice 4 LED's in a row pos. to neg. into this wire and your done. Repeat until your sick of it. no more than 4 LED's per series.
