I did side markers last week, no resistors and no errors so far, and cost about $10. Need to work on some more LEDs
What LED did you use? Where to get them? Thanks.

Here's how it looks on the car. And of course, camera's can be deceiving. It looks brighter on the camera than in real life.

Like I said before, I need to get new bulbs with more LED output. These suck. But anyway, here's what it looks like. =)

If anyone has any questions, let me know, I'll be glad to help.

I had these parts lying around and figured, let me give it a try, and it works great.

Autozone had some 4 LED 194 replacements, not too bright but not too bad.
