I would expect the LED intensity to be a function of how many LEDs are on at one time. The original circuit would keep the LED currents identical for any combination. However, if only one LED is expected to be at a time, it is a good hack.

BTW, one thing I did with my hack was to have the LED blink in proportion to different diagnostic modes.

GOOD LUCK!
