    He did mention load resistors .....but I wasn't really listening lol.

    TBH....I think I prefer standard bulbs, I'd use Osram Silvertec bulbs for the indicators perhaps.

    I like how fast the LED light up and go off. I just converted the father in law's RX300 to LED on the back and it looks brilliant.

    Toooooo much of a ball - ache to get it to work on a P2 tho. I might have a go at it one day
