Reply to "Gauge led bulbs"

I un-soldered R1 to test the LED brightness by verying the resistance. The resistance of R1 is 800 Ohms. I tested all the way up to 40K Ohms which did dimm the blue LED quite a bit. I ended up deciding to leave R1 disconnected due to my mounting location. Any illumination would be noticable in the foot well. I put a little electrical tape over R1 and called it good. If I ever need to I can simply resolder it. If I did it again I would just clip R1 in the middle of the long side. That would still allow it to be repaired in the future if necessary and would be easier than un-soldering it from the board.
