I ordered bulbs from him today. What he told you is exactly what he told me a few months back when I started looking. Although he didn't tell me that thing about the "use 4 resistors".

I ordered:
qty 4 Matrix 1156 Amber (front and rear turn signals, manual says same bulb front & rear)
qty 2 Matrix 1157 Super White (rear tail/brake)
qty 3 3-OHM load resistors (1 for left turn set, 1 for right turn set, 1 for brake set)

I realize I will have to file off one of the pins since NOBODY seems to carry 7507's (found SilverStar's, but I don't like the blue look at all). For what it's worth, I believe the tail/brake bulbs are 7528's and the backup's are 7506 (or is it the other way around :?: ). I may use the load's or may not, will have to see how it works out, since using them will effectively bypass the Crossfire "bulb out" sensor system.

Once I see how I like these, I'm probably going to order some festoon LED's (6418) for the other bulbs (side markers, front markers, etc.). I think Cyril did his interior dome in blue LED's, I'd like to also but I haven't seen a bulb part# posted.

I will do one side at a time and try to shoot some sample pics to post. If you want to wait another week, if I get them by Friday I will install Saturday (before the Skyline Drive cruise) and let you know how it goes.
