How does one accomplish the task? I am getting LEDS soon just wanted to know I also am not getting a resistor because I was told I needed resistors for my sidemarker LEDS and they work fine. Only hyperflash happens is during the initial cold startup.

You need resistors... unless you get it coded via NCExpert to disable cold/warm checks like a few members have documented recently.

Correct

It's true the small side indicators don't need a resistor but everything else does. Of course NCS expert is the most elegant solution.

Andy545: what bulbs did you get and where did you buy them ?
Now if it was possible to do LED break lights as well, then all would be great.
