Crap!! @%$#
No Dead Battery, so I must have left the inside lights on
Turns out the blue led resistor was different and the passenger, although working, is now dimmer than the original one. Sooooo Looks like im back to the drawing board.

Update: I removed the rubber piece that holds the white leds in the light housing and I tested them using a battery. No go.
I was thinking it might be the resistor going bad making them not work, so I was peeling off the heat shrink that covers it and as I was, the lead broke right off at the resistor.
The weird part is? It works without the resistor and on a battery. So im thinking I can hook them back up to the harness without the resistor.

I was talking to a friend and he said the same thing as far as too much current to the LED. I was under the impression that the resistors needed to be on in order for them to even light up.
UPDATE: I decided to sacrifice a Blue Led and take its resistor for the white led. I soldered installed and everything is back to normal. For now anyways.
Too much work to do so little time.
