Editing Lightmaps

Ok, I've been messing with halo modding for a few years now, but have never figured this out. I tried using the search feature, but couldn't find any solutions to the problem I'm having.

I'm trying to darken infinity. I use Paint.NET as my editor. I've tried following all of the tuts I could find, but none have solved this problem. I saved the 14 lightmap files and opened them each with DXTBmp (I can't open them directly with Paint.NET for some reason.) then I send them to Paint.NET. I lowered the brightness evenly for each file, then saved them in the R5G6B5 DDS format. After I re-inject them I get these ridiculous red and orange stripes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks to everyone on these boards. Most of my modding knowledge came from here.

You sure you injected them ALL to the correct place?

Absolutely Sure. I even tried it again just in case, still got the same thing.
