    These did work in my 2008 Toyota Prius with no modifications, and also in my 98 Honda Civic with no modifications...

    Hey, I just read through this thread and am hapy to say adding the resistor fixed my issue of the light not working unless the ignition was on.

    However, the 1W 100mha resistors get VERY hot during use. How long has your fix lasted? I am concerned the heat will get to be too much.

    Thanks for your insight.

    Mine are still going strong... :) I wouldn't run the lights for a real long time though, the resistors do tend to get quite hot if they are left on for long periods of time... :)
