confusing at times. My electrical knowledge is limited to "as soon as you let
the smoke escape from any electrical system it doesn't work anymore". I am in
the process of restoring my car and have purchased LED headlights and interior
lights and was planning to stay with traditional filament bulbs for the turn
signal and brake lights. My car has the single brake, turn and running
light.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

all. What Kees says flies in the face of both Moss's (slightly

I will install ONE resistor in the flasher lead of each lamp,
