Which lights would I need resistors so I won't throw an error code? I am planning on doing the tag lights and eyelids. Would replacing them with LED's throw an error code?

Thanks alot buddy... The guy from the store where i bought the lights from was trying to gain access to them through the upper part of the license plate where the bulbs actually were.. I believe it wouldn't take long to replace right?

At most, it will take about 15-20 minutes... really quick change!

Good luck!

The LEDs from one of the group buys, can't really remember, a member from Sweden, I think?

As for the camera, I just bought the camera online, the connector cable from midcity engineering, took it to bestbuy and had them install it on the location that i wanted ($75 for the install and warrantied for a year)

Check out the Polargs light from ebay. Shouldn't be too expensive. And no polargs are not LEDs. They're just tinted halogen bulbs which gives off a hid look. You can check out how Polargs would look on the license plates on my post on top. They're not as bright as stock though. If you want Leds for the license plate I would suggest you getting them from JBSPEED. Mine have been in for about 3 weeks without any problems at all.

I purchased the ones from JBSPEED and you have to change out the whole lighted housing, so in essence, you have to take more of the car apart (according to the website directions). Wish I had of done more research before buying. Live and learn though.

I've got mine from JBSPEED as well and I'm loving it. Not much of a problem installing for me. Got mine done by a friend.
