I dont even mind if they arent bright, I just want them to glow.
Then get vleds, make it easier on yourself. Think thwy are about the same price and vleds resistors have bigger wires. My wires on the aac resistor came off the first day from heat.

Gotcha. Still actually wondering if I need 4 resistors for 2 bulbs. All kits seem to say 2 resistors. Maybe people are just putting it on the wrong wire first? Then adding a second to fix the issue?

Pyro bought AAC lights, they look pretty bright, definitely bright enough, and didnt say anything about a relay. Just the load equalizers, and his seem to work
Your right, and the 2 load equalizer's are under the headlights. LOL

IMO the RS cars only need 2 load equalizer's, the non RS cars with only 2 load equalizer's the LED dont work like the OP said, i had the same thing as the op happen to me the running light all went off as i am driving at night.

Have vleds 60 led switchbacks and their 50w resistors,I know how the resistors wire up,but with the rs (drl@fogs) the sigs only light up when flashing(amber). They are off all other times (parking and/or headlights on).So my question is would you have to tap in to side marker to power sig when lights on and would it be amber or white?

Cool,thanks,then did that effect your sidemarker (blinking when turn sig on).
If so,I wonder if it would also make my fogs blink,since I have them powered by my sidemarkers already.Thanks

My sidemarkers didn't blink, get the drl harness from gen5diy. That will solve that problem, also I dont think you want to run the switchbacks and drls from the sidemarker at one time. You could start blowing fuses as they aren't ment to handle all the lights
