Negative, my man. It's one of two possible issues:
(1) I did not make the connection for the resistor close enough to the board and there is a mechanical separation
-or-
(2) The leads are touching.
I'll have it fixed this week.
Thanks for the compliments, guys, we'll have this all wrapped up in about a month when the navi and radio are finished!

Thanks, man, it's getting there!
Thanks, dude. Actually, it's not as bright as the images depict - if you look at the gauge cluster, even that is much brighter, this being a result of my uber-crappy camera. One of these days I'll stop being such a pincher and purchase a proper SLR.
Yes. Again, all of the DIYs are in the garage. The total cost of this mod (for materials) is only about $30 - that covers all LEDs and resistors. Can't beat it.

Thanks, Dave! Your help made this possible, seriously. You and Chris really helped prepare me for this endeavor. Regarding the radio - It's really going to be super easy. We will be using a bit more of an advanced technique, I'll detail more when I pop this out. Just a heads up - load yourself up with some PLCC-2s and the thin-film resistors...560-ohm.

Unfortunately, I do not have a garage to work in and theres 30 inches of snow on the ground! UGH!! Shit is really backing up---A-Spec lip, HID backups, CarPC. So close on a lot of them, just waiting for weather to break!

That looks awesome! Too bad I'm not brave enough to take my car apart like that to fix that one burnt out bulb for the Max lighting in the cluster console.

Already got them, my brutha---except I got 680ohm. Should still work fine.
