they should already have the resistor inside of the housing.

Oh, if you get some, let us know how they look.
I think they basically did what I did, the main difference is they have them installed inside the glass tubing thing.

I'm in Toronto, Canada, so I wrote them an e-mail, asking if they can ship to Canada. As soon as I get a positive reply I'm going to order some. Otherwise I'll have to find someone in states who can order them and then ship to me. Probably I can get someone help from this forum. It's so difficult sometimes to order stuff to Canada, nobody wants to deal with customs. I'll post images after I'll get and install them.

One thing to keep in-mind, when performing calculations, is that the battery

I also replaced the bulbs in the doors too,
It's pretty neat now, it not only lights up the door, it lights up ground too. The stock bulb never did that.

Do you know what type of the bulb in the door lights?

How do you open map lights for bulb exchange? I tried to pull it, but it doesn't really work. I didn't want to force it, because it looks like I was going to break some clips.
BTW. Could you also tell how to open door and running boards lights?

OK, I'm going off memory on the map lights but you need to take a really small screwdriver, and actually pry out where you normally push to turn them on.
The doors are also just held in with a clip if I remember right, just use that same really small screwdriver to pull it out.
The running boards are easy, just look under the running boards. You'll see the connector, just twist it and it should just pop right out.
Hope that helps
Chris.

Ok, I made a deal with them and ordered few LED. I just receive e-mail that my order will be shipped on Monday. So next weekend I'll also do my LED project. I hope I'll have them by the end of next week. I can't wait to receive and install them. I want to try to do some mods with my DRL. If everything will go fine I

Ok. I tried to use 194 type LED for running boards -> no way, those LEDs are worth then stock bulbs.
cdoyle where did you get your LED for running boards?
I've also done map lights and doors one. Those look nice. I'll post some images later...
Project to be continued ....

I made mine own, using some 80ma 5mm LEDs. I tilted each led so it would help spread out the light some, since those LEDs had such a narrow beam pattern. They look pretty good.
