LED Makeover (Several pics.)

[EMK]

I dont get it...I been trying to get my leds to work, but some of the won't.
I can't get the 4wd switch to light up. You have 1 x470 resistor on each led, right?
The're not soldered together or anything?
It doesn't matter if the resistor is on the + or - side of the led right?
Can't get the leds on 4 wd, the rear window washer or the rear HVAC switch to light up.
The other switches work...!
Any tips?

Rule of thumb, look at the leads on the LED the longer one (anode) is your positive side of the LED

Hey, diffrnt, did you use flat top leds or round leds? In some of the pics it looks like you used flat top but it"s hard to tell so I thought I'd ask.

All of the leds were round, but I used a dremel to sand down some of the tops. It help to diffuse the light instead of a pinpoint beam.

What exact LED's did you use? I want to order them from superbrightleds.com so that I can do this myself.

Also, what kind of LED would go in the cup holder lights socket?

I bought 100 5mm leds with 460 ohm resistors off of ebay. I'm not sure what you mean about the cup holder light socket.

Thanks!
In the cup holder of Denali's (not sure about suburban or Tahoe's) they have little clear lenses where the lights illuminate the inside of the cup holder. I wanted to know what kind of lights go there.

Don't have cup holder lights in my truck, so I wouldn't know.

I just bought 100 Cool White LED bulbs with resistors for $7.99 Plus free shipping. Should be a fun project!!
