[Healeys] Ballast resistor wiring question

[Kees Oudesluijs]

For the tail and brake lights you should not need "load resistors". You 
may need them for the indicator lights if you use the original style 
bi-metal flasher relay. You have to make certain though that the wiring 
and especially the contacts and fittings are perfectly clean and make 
100% contact.

If you are going to use the load resistors you need two for each double 
filament bulb as there are two power leads.
