Default 07 Gauge Cluster LED Conversion

I just got my leds & resistors from engifineer and im trying to figure out how to do it. There are hardly any DIYs out there, ive been looking for over an hour. The only one i found was on this forum and it had no guide at all on which resistors to change out. I was looking at photos from garage1217 and i saw some 330s and a 470.

Problem is i received 6 330s, and 3 422s for which the 422s are supposed to be put in place of the 471s in writeups (i havent found any writeups).

Does anyone know of any DIYs which tell u which resistors to change out? I can do the leds myself, just need the resistors to make em shine brighter since im doing white/blue. I was even thinking of putting some pics of mine when i figure it out for other people attemping to do the same.

Its really not that hard, u just need to become familiar with soldering and to be easy on some parts (LCD is very fragile)/. Engineer (user) has a full guide on the HVAC and other stuff + soldering tips that you might wana check out. I know theyre on yoursciontc.com under the lightning section in stickys but they might also be here since he has accounts on both forums.
