i did a search but if you want to change climate control light colors ( i know it not REALLY climate control) why do you need resistors? (im electrical stupid) why cant you un-solder the green ones and solder in the blue ones it would make everything soo much simpler than all this talk about running resistors and what not soooo if someone could elaborate on this a lil for me it would be greatly appreciated!

Ohh so the resistors acctually (sp?) will make the LED's brighter by using an outside 12volt source? hmm makes sence but since im going with different color buttons ill try w/o them first i can always add them later i guess i really wanted to make sure they would light up and not fry anything important lol thanks for you help

you dont need resistors for the leds you replace on the board.

but you will need them when you replace the bulbs with leds. cause you cant screw the leds into the board like the bulbs.

thats where the new power source comes in

good luck

I will return one day.
