Step 3Replacement
Once you have the correct resistor (if needed), go ahead and take out the pcb (that brown or green board holding all of the components). It's held in usually by a few screws and possibly a few more locking tabs.
It should be fairly easy, especially with big components, to find the LED and the resistor that chokes the power going to it.
Use the desoldering tool to heat up and suck the solder off of the the leads to the LED and resistor (from the underside).
Bend and clip your LED's leads to match the red LED's.
BE SURE TO BEND THE LEADS TO THE CORRECT SIDE!!!
If you need an override for the resistor's spot, the freshly clipped LED leads will work just fine.
Place your pieces in the correct holes and solder them in. The desoldering tool can work for this, but using a normal soldering iron will do a better job.
