they'll work if you connect the resistors like I did. I used 25W 6.8ohm resistors.

Belive it or not my fog light bulbs pre-date my car I had them on my Accord before I used them on my fogs. They don't sell them anymore though. They're FET CATZ Galaxy white bulbs.

When are you going to do your tails!?

I bet I could solder some different LED's in there. Wouldn't be that hard. You can find some nice LED's at digikey for cheap too.

You can tap the stock wiring like you did for your trunk. The way I did it was to drill a small hole into the plastic piece that holds the bulb into place. I ran some wire through the hole and soldered it to each of the metal prongs that touch the housing for the electrical current.

You cut those out? Do they feel loose since those metal nubs are supposed to held the bulbs in place?

they feel a little loose. You only cut one not both. You still need something to keep the bulb in
