i bought his too but the start up warning was enough to annoy me. for 2 dollars and 5 mins to get rid of it, all worth it.
+1. The Radio Shack resistors work and put a stop to the error messages. John put some in my LED license plate lights as I didn't like the error messages. Now they are error free.

Strange. I have NEVER had any error messages from my LED license plate lights. No resistors either.

I got the RD recently and they are super bright. I used to have the bulb and resistor but they burn out quickly as the heat built up by the resistor.
