led ideas

ok, a few months ago i bought led's from ledautomotive. theyre almost all burned out. the only ones that are left are the climate control screen and the defrost button. the others have all burned out. (im guessing the fuses provided were a little weak and overtime burned out)

\what can i do to get led's back?

also, the guage cluster still works but is very dim. is there a way to get a solid blue strong light? other than send it to the guy who charges a few hundred

They had resistors. I have some 3mm LEDs laying around with correct resistors, should I try to use those?

You can try if its the correct size LED.. If your using blue, make sure you have 560ohm resistors. 560 for the brightest (Minimal resistance)
