Sent PM... Gave you all the details to order the parts. Will do it for trade of something, wont charge you. Don't want to piss anyone one off. Friend to Friend we can getter done...

Before getting resisters for the run way leds, read some threads one them, people had some trouble with the resisters burning out. I'll dig up my notes, but a wiz kids explained why there were issues and what he recommended. Trying to find that post..

I found it, I had in in my build thread: 200 OHM 1 Watt he explains why below.

Quote from Javier: Hi. I'm thinking of doing the same to my headlights but my numbers indicate that I should be using 200 OHM resistors at 1 watt. The LEDs are runnung at 26mA not the 20mA that they are designed for so the current draws .762 watts. Therefore you should us at least a 1 watt resistor not 1/4 or 1/2. My numbers are as follows: 12 v devided .060mA (3 leds in series) = 200 ohms. Please let me know what you think. I just do not want to be opening these headlights once a year. The way I see it the current is greater than the resistor can handle and they may burn up.

Hmm they already have the landing strip but one LED burnt out. I am basically a moron when it comes to wiring. I will text Dave and ask what he has installed unless he chimes in here first.

Last night and this morning I ordered all my paint supplies, dual halos, and the G35 lens's.

Thanks again for all the help guys!
