The problem with low ohm, high amp resistors is potential parasitic drain. If the voltage from the solid state computer output is always on, causing the glow, a low resistor will draw more amps than a high one. I removed my reverse LEDs and went back to stock bulbs. No more dead battery from sitting. Not a problem for a daily driver, but no good for those of us who let the car sit unused in crappy weather and road salt.
