Help please?

I am installing the blue LED's in my dash for the climate control, select/reset button, clock, cruise control and all of that... I got the stuff from LEDautomotive.com. They sent me two different size LED's and two different numbered resistors. The resistors are numbered 561 and 102 (or 201). I know nothing about what I am doing but what I have done so far is working... Do I use the lower numbered resistors for the smaller bulbs or does it matter? If so then I don't have enough 102 (or 201) resistors and could I use a 561 for it? Thanks!!!


P.S. I am sitting in my driveway right now with my dash laid out in front of me so any help would be great ASAP!!

It was a while since I did mine from led automotive...but I did the same kit...I remember the different size led's, but those should correspond with the different sizes of bulbs....(i.e. if there were 3 in the climate and 2 in the clock area then the 3 big ones go in climate and 2 small in clock) but I don't remember how it goes...
As to resistors, they were all the same for me so I don't think it should matter much...hope this helps, I'll be on and off the computer if you have more questions, let me know how it works out...its a cool mod
