^^ lol double post. Not got the smd side lights yet mate, just had some smd 501 already from when I did the dash so fitted them to the numberplate lights and reverse lights, the side lights at the back are just normal bulbs, they look so bright because I painted the inside of the clusters with white paint. Yes the dash smds have resistors on them to make them work they only run off 1.5v or less so a load resistor is needed. @dan just need to have bits on the car painted like my lips and eybrows and rear o/s quarter re-painted due to a bad job then nothing till next year then i'm thinking TD04
