think they're soldered.

Gay blue LEDs don't work too well in the Omega - it wasn't designed for them.

So aside from being an expression of your feminine side, you will find them way to bright when used as indicators, and too dim when used as illumination.  You'll find the MID unreadable during day, and distractingly bright at night.
