diy 3mm leds

I ordered some other small button/case leds from handheld legend, so maybe those will do better.

Doesn't sound right. What LEDs are you using... is it a kit from somewhere, or DIY?

I have transparent blue buttons on my dmg.  I want to light them up.  I put 4 white leds in series (2 on  the d-pad, one on each A + B).  It was super dim, so I split the LEDs onto 2 separate circuits.  Not as dim but nowhere near bright enough.  Who had done this with success, and what am I doing wrong?
