Ok so I went in and added the resistor and it did not help. When I took it out again I noticed no pop again. I had moved a few wires around changing the LEDs before and then again when I fiddled with the resistor. I cranked the amp up to ear bleed levels and clicked it over and over. You can hear a faint pop, but at that level it still nothing serious. So i had not noticed pop, changed led and them did notice it , added resistor and it got worse, took it out and it is back to not noticeable. What I think is happening is just layout related. I will be boxing it this weekend and will report back any troubles.
