ok, i plugged the LED city light bulb a few days ago...
the lights were blinking...
luckily, eric came to town on time and fixed the problem.
he added a resistor at the base of the bulb and works perfect!
here are some installed pics...
all the thanks goes to eric da LED guru!

Eric, you should do what some guy on the audi forums did. He would buy the bulbs, make the resistors and then sell the whole as a package and make a buck and help people out.
In short, can you help a brotha out?!!
I want my led's up front and on my plates too!!!!

some more detailed pics of the LED license plate lights...
today's LED mods wouldn't have been possible w/o eric's watt/ohm calculations from his head and his tools!

MUHAHAHAHA..
ok, well, after thinking about it, I think I can get something going. The city bulbs will be easy, since we know the correct resistor I'll need to keep them from throwing errors.
The license plate bulbs are a different story. If you want to do the mod, you WILL have to remove your trunk lining. It's not very difficult. You'll also have to use wiretaps. I'll do a full DIY when I get back to Phoenix.
For now, I must sleep.
