Message	my will... I just measured the current in the stock 3rd light assy and the TwinZ LED, calculated the resistance for each and found that a 5 Ohm resistor wired in parallel with the TwinZ LED will get the total resistance to within 1/10 Ohm of stock. The problem is the current difference needs to be dissipated as heat and so the resistor needs to be rated at 50 Watts for a 2X safety factor. No one local to me stocks a 50W 5 Ohm resistor so I ordered one and will report back in a few days.
