    Wired these (one each side) into the main turn signal so I wouldn't get hyperflash and you don't want your HIDs to pulsate as you probably know. (eliminates need for hiding a turn signal bulb in your bumper as well....make sure you give the resistor its own ground or your climate control will now flash with your blinker lol

    Grabbed two 3157 mounts at the junkyard dremel'ed up the mounts and 880 HID bulbs to fit together (make sure you measure the clearance so it doesn't hit the bulb housing floor [HIDs HOTT!])

    Fill that sucker up with high temp RTV and I was good to go.

    Okay, so I still need resistors even though I have an electronic flasher. Do the resistors make the lights dimmer? Do these GP's take the same front parking light/running lights as Regal's?
