Resistors solve the cruise issue


Door lock/window switch bulbs: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...s/74-xHP3.html

^You can get them even cheaper on ebay.^

18 for the reverse will work, but the more the better. I have ones just like these:

^ I would try either Wal-Mart or any autoparts store. If not, then I'm sure you could find them on the internet somewhere. But to me either way, if a store don't have them and thats what you want, then you would still be ordering bulbs though so it would defeat the purpose of avoiding the whole ordering deal unless you just wanna order them instead of going to the store just for bulbs. Just my 2cents though.

I think the best way is LED. My bulb in my clear corners melted the clear corners and is melting the connectors.

^ That's another reason I went with LED's up front cause I went through I think 3 sets of corner lights and everyone of them melted the back and the top part around the hole and it made it nearly impossible to take and replace the bulbs cause they would melt themselves to the housing, then after a couple of days, the bulbs would blow.

They are a little brighter than the stockers. But I like them. The reverse lights made a difference since I have tinted windows. They are brighter than the factory bulbs.
