Inline Resistor
I should be getting my Euro Impact Strips from Steve anytime now. So I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of inline resistor I needed to put in place of the bulb?

You WILL need a OHM Meter...
Measure the bulb with the OHM Meter for resistance in OHMs
Buy a Inline resistor that has the SAME resistance..install in place of the Bulb...... Very Easy!!!!!!!!

fyi, i know how to get to radio shack, i just need to know what the resistance value is so that I can just go there and pick it up.

Quite looking for the easy answer
Why don't you just take Mr. bulb with you,as you've already said you're going to Radio Shack.They can check the bulb's resistance for you and select an appropriate resistor to substitute for the light bulb.

Very simple math equation that could've been found thru 
on this forum. But since jigga-ma-whatcchacallit is too lazy
Wattage = Voltage squared devided by the resistance.

Since you dont know what a ohm meter is or how to read a light bulb I would Take the car to Mechanic to have this done...Because Im Sure you WILL have a Hard time to install the resistor..when you get the correct size resistor...
RELAX...and chill out....
YOU wont get help with replies like that

sorry, just a little frustrated. they don't have to try to make people feel dumb you know. i don't know what they gain from that.
and fyi, i don't have much time to spend searching the forums. i just put out a topic and if someone responds i'll get an email notification...only then will i check it.

Jigga, when you get the strips, let me know. I'll tell you what you need and how to do it. It'll be easier than you think.
