Also remember these resistors WILL get hot. You may want to get some kind of metal clip to mount them on, or wrap them in fiberglass to insulate them from the metal hatch and keep them from rattling around.
I'm glad someone found out why they flicker, I never had time to track it down. Regulators for me!!!
Hey MMZ, maybe you can help me.. I tried installing these two resistors but this is what I did..
I couldn't get to the actual wires near the plugs.. god damn that is a small area and there's no way I can get to those..
I traced the wires back to the plug nearest you.. they share a common ground(but i don't know where they connect) and then the brown/yellow and brown/blue wire...
I tapped each end of the resistor to the brown/yellow and brown/blue then I connected both of those to the common (brown) ground wire.. still a bulb indicator out.. any ideas ??
