I believe people who have done this mod said that it takes a couple days of driving till you will see the headlights fix themselves.

I am doing this after i get home! got my 25W resistors in my glove box hahah just need a friend with the soldering gun.

I will help anyone on the forums, you asked if I could do them for you, and I answered you "if I install it for you, or come to you and help you install them, I would have to do the same for the many other people who asked."

I have helped many people on this forum and I will help anyone who asks, please do not make it seem like I don't want to help. Anyone needs my help feel free to instant message me, email me, or message me on the forums and I will help you with any question no matter how long it takes.

So sorry, ignore that post before this one, I thought you was that kid who kept annoying me in PM's telling me to come out and do it for him. My bad...PM me, I can help you with parts you do not understand.

Alex, hey, I did this mod a while back and all was fine, but recently I got a bulb out error on my dash saying "143." All of my signals still work properly so I figured that it must have been the load resistor that was the problem. I tried replacing those as well, and I still have the error on my dash. Any idea what the problem could be? I'm stumped and this light is annoying the crap out of me.

this might be a very stupid question, but if the electricity for the turn signal is drawn from the sidemarker, wouldn't the two bulbs be dimmer, since the electricity is now shared?

I was fine for a few months with no problems at all, but all of a sudden I have an error and I have no clue why since everything is working fine.

No, the bulbs won't be any dimmer.
