are we talking about mass manufacturing a simple mod and sell it above the price is cost to make it and make our self millionaires in the process? you know you going to need a spanish guy.. you always need a spanish guy

Guys quick questions....
DID the paypal fee's go up ??? 9% ???
I received paypal from a SHOEFACE for the resistors and they charged me 9% fee's
HQTL6SPD were you charged 9% as well ??? same dollar transaction between 3 of us....

Dude...I thought so...sold my phone on ebay last month...$195, right...I ended up having to pay $6 in paypal fee (still ok at the time) and friggin $17 in ebay fees. If they do that though, we'll all have to find another way to pay for things. 9% is rape.

I put straight amber led bulbs (not switchbacks) in and yes they hyperflash.
That being said if anyone has any .12 or .24 ohm resistors left please let me know, I need one and will gladly pay you for it. Thanks!

$2 is right there plus $2 to ship....hahaha you just got $1 for the resistors 
j/kI think paypal is going by $amount....so if the amount is greater than say $10, then 3% else 9%, something like that.....that sucks....

When I go to lock my with the key fob, the switch backs do not illuminate. Is there something wrong with them? I purchased the type 2 120 smd switchbacks off eBay. anyone else have this problem??

Put your factory bulb back in one of them (you can get to it with a flathead and just cutting the wheel to one side) and see if it blinks normally. If it does, then it may be a problem with your bulb. If it doesn't, it may be a problem with your soldering/relay.
J.
The lights should blink like normal otherwise. What about all the other functionality? Does that all work properly?

The switchbacks work great. They change to amber when blinker is applied and change back to white with no problem. But when I'm leaving my car and I go to lock my doors the front turn signals don't flash to show that the car is lock. But with the switchbacks in they don't blink when I lock the doors.

If they DO NOT... than your trunk or hood might not be closed all the way

Yo Swoosh, good thing I sent you that extra buck 
Here's part of an email I got back from Fry's after ordering/canceling my resistors:

I finally did this mod tonight with two .12 ohm resistors in series. No problems what so ever. I can see how the turn signal relay can be hard to get out. However it wasn't so bad for me. I used 1 slotted screw driver and an Irwin groove lock plier and pulled it right out.
I have enough extra resistors for 4 people so shoot me a msg if you want some. Also for anyone not comfortable with going the resistor route I have the two 4 ohm 100 watt load resistors that I was using before this mod that I'm now looking to get rid of.
Btw this is the first time in quite a while that I've had a chance to mod my car or give it attention at all and.... IT FELT GOOD!!!!

maaaann takin that resistor out took forever!! my 1st time soldering something and needles to say i was a bit scared i was going to F-it up regardless i got it tho...
thanks to joeytheswede for the resistor & mafyoso for giving me guiding me when i had doubts now my LED turn signal is pinkish red without hyperflash

^^^ you cannot get switchbacks for the rears as they are 7440 or 1 circuit bulbs....i believe you meant rear LED's....

I think, as mentioned earlier, .24 will work for just front ones as well. that is what i am doing since i am going to get rear ones later on!
if we get baclup led, does that make any difference to resistor?

Are these the 0.24ohm resistors we need to prevent hyperflashing when installing both front and rear leds? I have a 0.12ohm resistor in right now since I just have the front switchbacks but plan on getting rear led turn signals.

^^^ yup....
somebody needs to do this...
buy 50 pieces for $3 and just ship it out for $1 a pop (shipping will be $0.44 and resistor is $0.15 and envelope+paypal will be what $0.4)

You can easily sell those for $1-$2 each lol and make your money back after selling just 2 or 3.
