I just bought the same ones including there LED tail lights and all running lights. Haven't installed yet. What was the white wire for? Any ideas for the running lights and ballast resistors?

Knock off LED always are tempting, but I would have too see them on a wall. Not really concerned about legality — if I know there is a good cutoff

redcruz1120 Do you have the Product ID for the lights you bought? I am looking on the website and can't find the ones that have the back like yours. Everything I see is a deep headlight and looks like would need to be modify.

relays and ceramic connectors, all can be done without going into dash and the lights are fantastic
