    This document describes a simple circuit to safely drive white LEDs from a 12V automobile power source. The circuit uses a 7805 voltage regulator IC to provide a steady 5V from the car battery to the LED module. Resistors and transistors limit the current to the LEDs and provide constant brightness as the input voltage ranges from 8-18V. By not requiring a dedicated driver, this design allows white LEDs to be used for lighting applications powered directly from a vehicle's electrical system.

    Automobile White LED Light

    Without any dedicated buck converter/white LED driver IC, you can safely drive many standard Hi-efficieny white
    LED modules using the battery power available in automobiles. Here is a safe and simple white LED driver
    designed for 12V automobiles.
    In the Automobile White LED Light circuit, fixed voltage regulator IC1 (7805) provides a steady voltage of 5V
    across C2. Resistors R1 limits the current flow through the white LED D1 (3v6/350mA) with the help of transistor
    T1 (and T2), ie components R1, T1 (and T2) provide a constant current to D1. Use a good heat sink for T1. This
    LED unit gives a constant light output for input voltages ranging from 8 to 18 volts!
