Before we start i DON'T mean the ROL Led's

I want to install 3 Led's for a transparent Dpad and two thumbsticks. thing is when i wire my Led's up, all 3 don't work. but if i connect just one, it works fine..
i was told it's because i use a GC2 Controller (the newest one) which is right i do. any suggestions on how to add more than one led?

Well to answer all of you, i can't find any lower than 3.0, i need 3 so it needs to be 1.0 voltage, I'm intending to use white ones but does it make a difference? and what higher voltage should i solder to?

thats series parallel is where they would stay on if one went out also it has the same voltage no matter how many leds like i have 6 3.5v leds hooked up to one 9v output
