unless you solder the (+) end right to the (-) and nothing in the middle you should do ok

also on any one of the little switches if you dont nick any of the other parts on the board other then just the LED you will be ok, besides if you mess it up it's only as bad as the price of a new part from honda, ebay or a scrap yard

one good thing about dealers is that they like to cover up alot of things that they think they f-ed up on, like if they see something not working or not right they think they might of done it because you didn't book it in for that so they fix it for you
