boot - needs one relay

temperature readings - needs one temp sensor for each
number plate - need more info

LCD brightness will be LED matrix like Turbos setup. Hooked into a dimming PSU. I haven’t ordered the LED kit yet but im getting real close to. 15.4 wxga is on its way. The kit comes with a dimming PSU, I don’t have any pics or info of the PSU but ive been told its a variable knob style external dimming control. Ive attached some pics of the LEDs. I don’t know anything about resistance or that stuff I don’t even have the tools to make PCBs. A good friend of mine is a electrician with 40 years under his belt he said he will help me out, but I gotta know what I want before I tell him, you know? Or if Fusion(or turbocad) can make a pcb to do this then ill buy it. I could give you multimeter reading if you need them?
Number plate attached to a servo or two, it flips down hiding the numbers, and back up again when i choose. Could be some sort of cable system going to the boot lid. Now I think about it this isn’t practical so I won’t worry about this one initially.
