Quoting: Roadkill
Alas, I need some torx bits as the light fittings are held in with S/Steel torx screws.
I've got loads of these you're more than welcome to borrow.

also frustrating is they use the reverse lights for indicators meaning its a nightmare backing up at night
easily cured by a small discreet reversing light to mirror the fog light that inevitably has to be added. if the vehicle has a tow bar, its really easy to integrate that neatly.
a lack of reversing lights is a major pain though, especially on a vehicle with tinted windows as a lot of SUV's have...

then add a . . . resister
*(Note to readers that the Resistor idea was actually mine)

tell ya what though, i hope theyve got heat sinks on them, because all that loaded resistance ends up as heat !! I burn out a few resistors doing this on the saleen, until i ripped it all out and did it properly....
they are for exactly this type of job.... they don't get significantly hot.

by putting these in place of the extra bulb holders, it mimics the resistance (the LED indicators they are for have no real resistance as such, and therefore flash uber fast without a resister - in just the same way it does when a bulb is out)
first things first we'll see what's there, because it really shouldn't be a difficult job...
if all else fails, and with the resisters it flashes too slow, add a heavy duty flasher relay, and it will be fine (you set them according to the flash rate you require)
