Changing Power Window switch LED's

I went to change mine to blue...

I've checked voltage output and it was around 2.0-2.2V
but blue LED's are 3V min.

Did you guys changed original resistors?

Okey, after replacing it to 3V LED's, voltage became 3.0xV.
So, everything is working right now, but i have to go back to school to understand why...

Anyone can explain me, how 2V became 3V, some sort of "magic" resistors?

My car is still apart, since it's still cold and salt after winter.
I hope will finish winter project in few weeks, then will post picz.

But if you will check original DYI topic, you will find some pics there
