   Leds came in earlier today and hopefully I will be putting them together when i'm off work.anyone know a way to check the leds to see if they work before I install them?

   Just use 2 AA batteries wired in series. That will give you your 3V to test with. Touch the + and - pads on the LED with the + and - leads from the batteries and it should light up.
   
   It's pretty easy really.

   The kit should come with a battery tester. If you don't have one i am off at midnight and could give you one.

   Watch your eyes when you test and when you turn them bad boys on, they are very bright...

   Only after 3 hours and one burn, i'm finally a rapidled owner!! So glad everything checked out the first time I plugged it in cause I did not want to have to take it apart.
