That seemed to be the problem! I went and replaced it with my second LED (I bought the LED in a pack of 2) and now it is shinning nice and bright!

My problem is with the GPOs. I have a blue super bright LED that I want to use for mail notification. WHen I first plugged it in I oddly enough had a nice and bright blue LED shinning ...
