Interior Led Mod Help
Everything was going good. The passenger side was done. Went to the drivers side. When installing the LED bulbs started fizzling out and blowing. Now all the LED's even the passenger side are toast. NEED HELP!!! I'm getting FRUSTRATED!!!: toetap:
To make matters worse now my battery is now. R/Al
Jump started car so now she runs.

I guess I'll try and try again. Doesn't make much sense. It's impossible to put the resistor in backwards right??
R/Al
I checked the resistor value on a webpage and they are 470 Ohm.
Also, you are supposed to solder the resistor to both legs of the Led?
