Resistors

I understand I'm going to need to wire in some resistors for the LED's I'm going to throw in on the outside....

I know that I can code these out, but I'd rather wait until the car is out of warrantee and I don't have a PC anywhere in my house (mac guy)

Can someone either explain or post a video on how to wire in these resistors? I'm planning on doing the running lights (the light just above the fog), turn signals, side turn signals (in the side scuttle), and license plate lights.... Any others I should do? (Interior is completely swapped out with LED's)

One more thing... Are there any good replacement fog light and the optional driving light bulbs to match the Xenons?

Thanks!
Kyle

I'm waiting for the answer too!

What if we buy the bulbs with the resistors built into them, which would you recommend? thanks!

I found canbus LED Bulbs for the little light above the fog on eBay... I'm going to try them out to make sure they work and I'll let y'all know if they throw codes... I'm feeling like a 50/50 chance.
