PIAA have in-line resistors, yes they are "plug an play" but these still have resistors.

What do you think the round bit is in the middle?

Ahhh... i haven't looked at the PIAA's in great detail, i see what you mean now. if only i could find £80 lying about the street now... or a few lucky scratchcards!

What size resistors would i need for these LEDS i have now does anyone know?

Well, heres a few pictures anyway even though part of the adventure didnt go to plan...

How the sidelights looked before the car cut the power to them

How the OSRAM front indicators look, definitely an improvement on the standard orange bulbs

If you're buying anything off of PowerBulbs try this voucher by the way..

ZXRCX111

Just did a quick Google for codes because I wanted to de-tango my front lights and that code knocks 10% off the cost! :D

I went and bought the side light from the first post. Will check the resistance of them with a multimeter when i get them.

My 501 Filament bulbs read 3.1 Ohms, so will check the LEDs and make up the difference with a resistor. Hopefully it will do the job!
