    Other than reverse lights, white lights visible from the rear are illegal.

    Resistor is to prevent Hyperflash... turn signal. Brake/tail are unaffected.

    It's probably more stressful putting 100 kits together and ensuring they are 100%?

    Hey @mesojdm can the resistor be bypassed for adding a strobe controller to the Amber LEDs? As in, could I splice a relay inline so when the regular turn is active it uses the resistor, but when I activate the strobe and relay, I can access the leds directly?

    Negative. The resistor connector is soldered to the + and - leads of the led. I order to control the flashing manually, you would have to intercept the power input wires on other other harness(3pin)

    Jealous. Is this stage 1 or 2? @mesojdm does this mean the kinks are smoothed out?

    Any chance of an optional add-on for matching bulbs for the front blinkers? Not sure if I’d go with stage 1 or 2 yet, but probably stage 1 until I can save up for and find the full custom tails :thumbsup:
