Climate control bulb(s) question
Are the bulbs in the climate control wired in series or parallel?
When I bought the car, only one of the OEM bulbs in the climate control actually worked, so I assumed the rest were blown out and just went ahead and ordered 10 12v #74 LED's. So I got them and they wouldn't work in the bases of the old ones, so I just soldered them in.
Well, I plugged it in and none of them work. I don't know if they have to be reversed or something, but I find it weird that not a single one lit up. I'm going to guess that all 7 were in working order before I put them on since they were new. Any ideas on wtf is going on here?

Hmmm.. makes sense. Now this may sound stupid, but how do I know which way the current flows in my non-marked LED's? There's two different colored resistors at the bottom of each base. I think one is red and the other is green.

Okay, nevermind that. I guess unlike any of the other cars I've owned, the climate control lights in the LS only turn on when the car is started. I drove the car to the local 7-11 and they lit up awesome!
Furthest right and furthest left buttons don't light up, so I'll have to look into that, but the LCD and everything else lights up great! I was also surprised that there is very little "spotlight"-ing on the LCD too.
