04+ cars also have hyper flash and a DIC warning. You'll need to put a load equalizer (resistor) to correct that. I have put in switchbacks and they are a perfect match for my 6500k HIDs. I just have to find some time to do the resistor install.

here you go i few pics of the wires that need to be spliced with the( 50 watt 6 ohm) resistor to slow the blink rate to normal

now that's done i think i may connect the little side parking lights to the turn signals and see how that looks.
