As you can see, this is how it should look for each "series" of LED groupings. The resistor goes BEFORE the first positive of the series. SO, follow this formula: Source Positive wire-resistor-positive of 1st LED 1st LED Negative-2nd LED positive 2nd LED negative, 3rd LED positive Wrap the Source negative around the 3rd LED negative. Do this for ALL of the 96-99 LEDs. If you need better instruction than that, use this site: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz
