but was is it actually doing? if you solder the led's in right, thats all you need to hold them. all glue is gonna do is prevent you from repairing them easy if for some odd reason you have to.

I was following the tutorial and it said to solder a wire then the lead off the led to the wire and i was thinkin why not solder the wire to the metal backing but i guess that made too much sence and I thought I needed to glue those bitches in and destroyed every one of them. a whole 80 cents down the shitter.  i might just drill out the glass left from them and try to solder them to the metal of the port cover and the positive to the red wires and give it a go.
