I don't want to piss on your bonfire or anything but;
I also find it confusing that Brian's site lists "1 SMD resistor pack, 1k Ohm, 4 resistors" but the pics only show one 'thingy' being soldered down, and the 4 LED's - can anyone who has actually done this mod shed some light on it for me, please?
tells me that you do not have the necessary electronics skills to install this yourself. Try emailing Brian and ask for a price for just the 4 LEDs and resistor pack (explicitly state that you don't need the cast buttons), and then if he can do that, then try asking mlord for a quote to install just the resistor pack and 4 LEDs (no knob board).
If both are willing, then you can rest assured that (a) you are getting the right components, and (b) they will be installed by someone who knows what he is doing.
For reference, the single resistor pack contains 4 resistors, and hence 8 contacts that need to be soldered. The entire pack is about 3.2mm long, and about 1.9mm across. Each contact is approximately 0.6mm wide, which leaves an inter-contact gap of approximately 0.25mm - getting each individual contact soldered without bridging any of the gaps takes skill, experience, a very fine soldering iron and steady hand .
