Yeah paco those are the ones. I think part of the blown fuses is people putting resistors in places where they shouldnt be. Its a bit tricky

Hopefully ill find the time to do it today with pix

^ that is the same set you will get. None of the LED's were dead on arrival so.. so far, so good

Just for the outters? That's pretty pricey, but then again, I'm poor.
