so i wanted to try making led eyes for the first time... got a battery pack with a switch /2xAAA/ and of course said leds.
my character has heterochromia, right eye's blue, left's orange, so i bought both orange and blue leds, all identical, 3mm 3V. the thing is... when i tried out the blue ones they were all working perfectly https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/12552759_1686561298295873_4323911856884291863_n.jpg?oh=d555cc3e0099802a2ebc4ed07dcd8c7d&oe=572A87F1 but orange... every single one has instantly burnt out. i thought i may have received faulty leds so i ordered them again from a different seller - the result was the same. i really don't want both eyes highlighted in blue, i thought about maybe buying red leds for the left eye but i'm not really sure if that's gonna work...
i know absolutely nothing about doing things like this... so maybe i'm missing something important? can anyone help?
