Turn Lamp Resistor? (Scientific Type Peoples with Equations)

    Oh that was for the lights to switch properly.  When the harness came it
just switched the lights like the stock lights, one filament for lows and
highs, but the RS2 lights have both lows and highs on for high beams.

    This is to get temporary corner lamps until, if I ever, get the euro
bumpers painted red and fit them on the 90.  I have a set of used black euro
90q20v Sport bumpers with new fogs and corner lamps sitting in NY.  So for
now I have to do what I was before, run the city bulb as my corner lamp.
The difference is the city bulb is 5W not 21W and doesn't create enough draw
to stop the rapid blinking when a bulb is out.  So I used a resistor in
parallel to create the proper draw and for the life of me I forget what it
was.  I do remember it has to do with Ohm's law and I'll start sniffing
around for that.

    One thing I forgot is this car has autocheck.  I wonder if I have to do
something to accommodate that now too.  Does Blau's harness account for
that?

Thanks!
