For the install of the resistors, I just wraped each end of the resistor's wires to the removable housing which holds the bulbs. There are two contact points in there that conducts power to the bulb. I did not solder them or anything. I just simply wraped the ends of the resistor wires around those two conductive points, and push the wedged bulb in place to keep it from coming free.

@Tex_Phil, Not sure yet. Gotta take care of some stuff first. If anything, just small stuff first.

^Good for you.

Do you know for a fact that it's illegal in Texas? Because here in California, it's perfectly legal.

Phi, if it's not too much trouble, can you take a picture of your said set up?

Btw, I used your stickers on my amber "removal" install today. Unfortunately, I am not as patient as Mike, and didn't do a as clean as a job, but it still looks great. I do think that maybe a specific sticker that goes right on the amber should be designed, lol. Obviously, these are for the outside, and they are considerably larger. I probably should have planned it out better and cut it like Mike. Oh well, that are still good to me =)
