I checked and found PIAA actually not a build-in resistor, they have a extra connector with tube. which that tube is we talking about the load resistor. But they pack in good look only.
All claim have build in led are suck also, they also use the connector wiring to trick.
Power (W) = Voltage (v) x Current (A) , Voltage (V) = Current (A) x Resistance (ohm)
For Angle eye,
non-xenon version use 12V, 5W bulb, Then means draw 0.42A current, if replaced by led which assume draw 0.25A current, then need 70 ohm resistor
xenon version use 12V, 10W bulb, Then means draw 0.42A current, if replaced by led which assume draw 0.25A current, then need 20 ohm resistor
License plate use 12V, 5W bulb, Then means draw 0.42A current, if replaced by led which assume draw 0.25A current, then need 70 ohm resistor
Mean the resistor value depend on which led being use.
May be I said too much, I will buy some 20 ohm; 30 ohm; 50 ohm for try and error.

Glad to have a electronic genius in here to help us out

Brought the things back and will start DIY soon.
Thanks for that buddy

Nice! Cant wait for Friday!
Thanks for that buddy

before install resistor - light on but have error code
After install resistor - light still on but error code gone.
Now use the cheap cheap ceramic resistor for run-in test. If still haven't error code, will change to aluminium resistor later-on

cool you going to get it.
what about the peddle shift Streeting wheel, have you got it?

No, not yet. But just ask ahead so that I know how to approach. Hopefully I will find the steering wheel soon.

You must get them keith
the plate is 99% close to what it looks like with led

here you go was at sing fai to night and ricky install the led and look good.

Meaning to get the resistor before, but being a electric idiot, i have no idea what to get at all
haahaaThanks again Ricky, and you finally managed to take the bulbs out

Till tonight still in error free, will keep on update about the result.
