Told MJ to order them off of www.newark.com

These are for the people who upgraded to euro impact strips and still have the sidemarker bulb somewhere in the car.

5W 27ohm. I picked this particular one because the leads should be easier to plug into the base.

Lol. Wait until MJ does his first though, just want to be 100% sure it works. I'm 99% sure though.

$0.57 each.

oooooohhhh, well, you have 2 choices. Clip the socket off completely and connect the wires to the resistor OR use some extra wire to connect the resisitor to the socket.

OR, you can just wait until like 2 weeks when I plan to come visit..... for that "other" thing.
