If you do have LED tail/brake lights as well, what kind of load resistor would you use? And would you put in with the third brake light or with the tail/brake lights or all?
Would any of the 6 ohm ones on ebay do fine?

The resistors should be about 10 ohms, 25W each. Don't buy them, you can make them for pennies... just go over to any electrical supply store and pick up the resistors (like $0.05 each), some shrink wrap ($0.50/yard -- you'll need about an inch per resistor) and some connectors or wire taps (maybe $0.25). These things are so over priced it makes me want to start selling some

Both payment have been received and will be shipped out today, tracking number will be available tmr. Thanks
Thanks for the explanation. All tracking number and confirmation number already been send out, PM me if anyone did not received the numbers. Thanks
I just asked this question to Rotary Rasp -- which is our resident LED expert. You need one resistor per turn signal (wired in series) if you have LED turn signals, you do not need any for brake lights.

OK I got my light in the mail today... looks good upon opening. The light itself IS back pretty far into the housing (will have to wait how it looks once installed). Smoked is not really smoked that much, so I will try to darken up the tint when I get home. Other than that, looks like good build quality and housing. I won't be able to install it until Jan. when I get home but hopefully someone else will upload pics when recieved.

I got mine too, same one as Ross.
I did not get to install it, probably tomorrow. I will take pics. The smoked is not that dark, but it looks good still. Easily fixed if wanted. And yes the light is far back into the housing, but the oem one is about the same. Can't wait to install it. Thanks saki for setting this up. Fast delivery.
