LED on capacitor not lighting up?

I have a Planet Audio 3.5 farad capacitor sharing the remote turn on lead with my Planet Audio 1800.5 amplifier, and the LEDs do not light.

They lit up when I was charging it with the included resistor, but now that its all set up, the screen is dark.. and that's arguably the best feature of a capacitor, as I can look back and see it from the drivers seat.

To clarify, I spliced into the remote turn wire that runs from my JVC HU to the amp, the wire running to the amp is SMALL ( about 18ga), its the remote turn on wire that came with a cheap pair of KnuKonceptz rca wires, which I ended up pulling apart just to get the remote wire. I made a "T" connection splice with 14/16ga crap KnuKonceptz speaker wire, which is pretty much just tinned aluminum.

Does anyone see a reason this setup wouldn't light the LEDs?
