If you just twist the wire of the resistor around the longer wire from the LED then use electrical tape it will work - that's what I did.

yeah dude you should really have no problem

i hooked up my led's with little to no prob, i think the only thing i ran into was a matter of getting the resistor on the right side, even with just a twist of the prongs on the led and the wires i had light.

Now I'm just waitin for cathodes once I get a new job, damn you phil! I had that money for a day and it went to bills right after hehe

I'll have my cathodes I will, just as long as I don't have a lower intake gasket leak
