First of all, Nick... thanks for the part numbers. I may get the side marker ones from BMW, as my led sides strobe on startup. I hate that. My angelibrights strobe as well... but nothing I can do about it.

nigxgoof... I have a stupid question for you.... when using the "perfect" resistor, if the LED bulb dies, will I get an "bulb out" warning on the I-Drive? Or is the resistor doing its job so well that it is fooling the I-Drive even if the LED is dead (I'm guessing the current will change, however little, if the LED dies)?
