    okay so i got bored tonight and decided to pop it out and see... looks way better and the 4 pin wasnt hard to solder in at all. you do need different resistors for the red led this time, the calc said i needed a 150 ohm 2 watt resistor which radio shack does not carry anything with that kinda wattage so you buy two 5 packs of the 680 1/2 watt resistors and just twist 4 together which equals out to about 165 ohms said my multimeter (ahh the powers of parallel wiring) and also using 4- 1/2 watt ones make 2 watts. the blue ones still used the 560 ohm 1/2 watt. my total cost for the parts i ended up using was under 20$ with tax(not counting the previous attempt of course)

    materials list as follows:
    3x- blue 4 pin led part#276-0023
    1x- 5 pack 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistors
    2x- red 4 pin led part#276-0020
    2x- 5 pack 680 ohm 1/2 watt resistors
    plus solder and a iron

    they do carry several other colors in this led im pretty sure they have green,yellow,pink as well but i dont know what resistors those would use

    not put back together but you can see the improvement:IMG_0508.jpg
