Showstopper LED side markers

Hello all - I wanted to show everyone how cool the LED side markers are from Showstopper Accessories - I used resistors to bring the brightness down to 45% of the original. As you know LEDs are super bright and the side marker LEDs always looked like brake lights at night.

It's still hard to tell from the picture but these now look like factory lights - can barely notice during the day and like running lights at night. Awesome!

That looks awesome. The lower brightness makes a real crisp line. Definitley a good job.

Thanks. Not ghosted - I like the amber front and red rear lines when they're off. That makes them look more like the concept car. This pic shows the painted markers (lights off).

Sorry for reviving an old thread but what value and type of resistor did you use to reduce the intensity 45%?
