Also, if it's easier for you, the resistors don't need to be soldered directly to the LEDs. They can be several feet away from the LEDs in the circuit in a more convenient location.

didn't think of that either, sheesh!  i can just run wire to my ledwiz and have the resistors installed in the screw terminals and then solder the wire to that.

thanks for the input guys!

Nobody's gonna tell him that he can buy new tips at Radio Shack?   :lol

Mysterioii:

No prob.  BTW even if I'm just soldering wire to an LED or other component, I like to tin the wire first then hook it with the needle nose pliers just like if I was soldering two components together.  Mechanical connection... that's how I was taught, and it stuck...   :lol
