They are probably the wrong ones. There is a mathematic equation you just need to know voltage and milliamp draw of the LEDs
That's probably the case, but then that means that the seller is putting the incorrect resistors along with the LEDs. I'll have to back and see if any recent customers like myself have complained of this

You could have also gotten a bad batch of LEDs, and the resistors are fine. I've had a handful of the ones from my 500ct batch fail on me over the last few years. That's the downside of buying cheap stuff online.

Could be, next time I'm gonna look more for quality than cheap bulk. Where do you usually get your 5mm LEDs & resistors? What would you recommend I buy next instead of from this vendor.

I still have leftovers from my huge Ebay purchase 4-5 years ago. The resistors I wouldn't be as concerned about here you get those from, the batch of LEDs I got recently, which you see in my avatar were Cree superflux from Mouser. They sell many brands of LEDs I've never heard of. Digikey is also a site where you can order them in bulk for discounts. There are a handful of other sites, can't remember them off the top of my head.

Here are a couple of pics of my toolbox. Nothing really fancy but I like it, i decided to just line the drawers with carpet for now. It is kinda like speaker box carpet but more heavy duty and has a rubber back which i spray glued down. I even went out a found an 18mm wrench, for some reason i didn't have one and was actually pretty difficult to find, but it is a necessary tool for the TB's. :yes:

I wanted to get into Gas powered RC cars when I was younger, but couldn't afford one lol. Don't really care enough now to get into it. Maybe when my kids are older, it'd be fun then as a project with them

I had about $500 into the one I traded for the tires so that deal worked out nicely
