A diode works in one direction, the other direction of electron flow has the potential to destroy the diode. |

In other words, you might have got the positive and negative terminals swapped... at a low voltage this simply results in no current flowing, and no lights. At a sufficiently high voltage things burn out instead.
If the LEDs are wired in parallel instead of in series, then this could easily by why they managed to collectively draw enough current to poke the resistors. |

I'm gonna buy some LEDs and different resistors just to toy around....anybody know where to get these things in West Auckland? |
