Do you get resistors or a flasher relay?

You may get a ticket for faulty equipment. It's not very hard to throw in a relay on it.

So I'm sure this was brought up but I'm getting tired of scrolling then losing my spot then having to remember what page I was on but what makes a bulb brighter? Like my tai light bulbs are 3157r. Is the number the brightness or is it the more LEDs in the bulb the brighter it is?

I think it'd be easiest to just swap out the flasher. No risk of the resistors going bad and burning something up (mine had completely melted into the surround on one side), and it's IMO simpler than adding resistors to each light.

Does anyone have any Non-Ebay links to buy the interior bulbs?

All mine but the dome light come from superbrightleds. Just enter your vehicle and it finds the bulbs. But they're more expensive from there but better quality.
