sorry mate ive tottaly confused myself AND you. ok you know on the clock when you take them out and remove the needles and all that then you have the display left where it shows you the miles mpg etc etc? then after you have un-soldered the displays of your left with the little smd leds? kells took them out and replaced them with 3mm blue leds, now this is what i want to know did he use a 12v resistor under ther or did he solder it just straight to the board without the resistor? thats what i need to know.

cheers mate
