    then i soldered everything in with the resistors on either side but always in series or inline with the led not across it and heres how they looked:

    now i had contemplated putting the leds in the plastic bulb case but it looked a little dificult so i went straight to the board, up to you how creative you wanna get. i have plugged it in and confirmed it works but im gonna wait til dark to post pics of the final product... i can tell already there are three super bright dots on the display from the focused beam of the led, the only thing i woulda done different is probably cut the tip of the led off to keep it from fucusing a beam. maybe use a grinder to leave it kinda foggy too so the beam is even more dispersed. get ahold of me if you have any questions or comments on how to improve the idea...

    and if you really wanna get fancy and change the button color just swap these little leds out and scrape the red from behind the buttons:
