I am getting ready to refit my case and completely redo the wiring inside. I will be reinstalling the LEDs and installing new ones as well as simplifying the number of connections and wires inside of my case. Preliminary designs and thoughts are here: http://imgur.com/a/WZBSi .
I pretty much now have an idea of what I want to do, now I'm having to go over implementation.
*UPDATE 10-25-16*
This is the test design for the switching circuit. The user can select between 12 volts and 5 volts to power the circuit. A second switch will allow the user to pick the appropriate pre-set resistance for each voltage. It looks like anything less than a series circuit could cause the 12v pot to fail.

Skipped pictures of an iteration. Eliminated a switch in this iteration. Circuit selection is done by a single DPDT switch. Selecting the voltage will select the appropriate configurable resistance. The IC socket will serve as a connection point for testing LEDs and will likely not be included in the final version.

Here I have a working low-pass filter hooked up to a bank of UV LEDs. These will go to the reactive window on my case. I have since built a set of modules that hold two LEDs each. These can be chained together without modifying the voltages needed for the chain to work.
