Someone hacked my account and deleted it along with the pictures. Somehow they got into my photobucket account as well.

The only thng i can think of is
1. There's not enough connection so you'll need to resolder it.
2.LED is the wrong way. Flip it around and check.
3.Busted LED. You might have burnt the LED when soldering so try using another one.

Try using a 12v multi meter and touch each end of the LEDs. If the LEDs light up then it works. The one that doesn't is wrong.

Where did you get the multi meter? Radio Shack?

ya, i was going to ask the same question as binh. I plan to wrap my center console soon and wanna do this led mod as well.
How did u know 603s is the led that is the substitute for the existing lights? I tried looking for 603s on ebay and found nothing... =(

Can anyone explain a little in depth how many you need and where to get?

=P thx in advance, im very new to this
