    Not necessarily, especially given your build's current state. I would start with the questions I posed earlier. What resistors do you have on each die, and what do your configurations look like.

    The risistor for the red LED is thru the main power For the LED on the board blue and green are ran directly

    How about some specific information here. Resistor values, type of battery, etc.???

    No wonder the Blue and Green are dim, you likely blew them out. What board are you using (not that it really matters at the moment)?

    Edit: Is this the CF7 you mentioned elsewhere?

    Yes the cf7 sound board is what I'm messing with, and no it wouldn't surprise me if I did blow them, okay so would it be best if it just bought a new LED then since the one I have shot?

    Yes, and this time restore them properly if you are not going to use a CEX.

    Okay cool, but if I wanted too, could it be possible that I could use the color CEX to increase brightnes or is that not how that works?
