I've got the same setup in this thread here, but couldn't find any resistors that small, the smallest ones I have are 10ohm 1/4 watt. I was wondering if i could set up 2 or 3 in parallel to try and cut down the resistance for those 3 LEDs?

Well...you *can*, but I don't think that's a good idea. If you want to get your 10 ohm resistors down to 0.5 ohms, you'll need 20 of them in parallel. You're better off ordering the proper resistors.

We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
