Default blue led dash conversion **help**

Alright so, i've already completed the mod...but i made a mistake on two of the lights (considering this is my first time doing it, lol it's not THAT bad =^_^=). The two lights don't light up due to a soldering error. I was soldering the led's onto the pcb board and apparently i scraped off the metalic lead ON the pcb board. I'm just curious if anyone knows how to ....fix this. LoL i know it's a stupid mistake..but hey, it was my first time and ish...it's so hot in my room..i couldn't concentrate =(. N eeeee how, thanks a lot.

**** man, thats tough, there was a kid in my class who did that to a design project (electrical engineering)

you'll have to connect the scratched lead and the LED somehow, i think he soldered a wire flat to the board but you have to be careful doing that because its precision work, good luck. . .

yeaah...T_T situation kinda blows....it's not THAT big of a problem, considering i RARELY ever use the fan for my feet.....(that's the light that doesn't light up, and the windhshield defogger + feet fan). But STILL! ahhhhh poo...still working at it though, i'm sure it's possible...or at least i hope it is. hahhaa....and here are some pictures..



that's a correctly soldered led



that's a horribly done p.o.s. soldered led

and...i'm attempting to solder a wire to the surface....i THINK i can handle some pretty precise work...considering i used 0607 sized surface mount resisitors (they're DAMN small...hahah but it still worked! =^_^=)

if you mean, you scraped off were the led's solder connects to the board...follow the circuit board to the nearest connection point, and solder a connecting wire
