Angry Can someone help me with Blue LED install problem?

I am trying to install 4 blue LEDs connected to the factory alarm. First I tapped into the factory power and ground wires that went into the factory LED. They all worked for a while but then 1 LED went out, the passenger side. I replaced it and they all worked again. This morning they were all out. OK. I ran a new 12volt wire from the battery and still used the factory ground. When I connect the passenger side, they work REALLY BRIGHT. When I connect all 4 OR just the driver's side they are all dim. WTF? I really doubt both driver's side LEDs are no good. What could be wrong? Are you not supposed to have too many on the same power wire? I e-mailed Streeteffectz but he didn't respond yet and I really want to finish this up tonight.

Also, should I take off the resistors since I ran a new 12volt?

Sorry but I don't know how to change the stock LED. I just added 2 in the triangle piece in the top corner of the door and left the stock one untouched. I have mine in the same spot as TL Daddy.
