If you do not believe me, then by all means, you are of course free to do it differently. You will require extra wiring, and adding of an extra switch and fabricating a bracket, or finding a compatible dual pole switch. Plus you will need a resistor to ground. The choice is yours. (Of course, if you do not believe in my first solution, I am not sure why you should beileve in anything else I wrote)
I just didn't see it. Surely that would work as well as that's how we defeat the check control modules on bmws for leds. I was a little confused by your explination if the circuit itself so I sudgested whick could be done very easily with boneyard parts and about 2' of wire and appropriate resistance of two bulbs. It sounded like you were saying that it was the light off resistance but now that I think about it, a resistor would effect light off as well as long as its uphill of the diodes. Either way would work I suppose. If your way does then its easier. Wasn't a matter of not beleiving. You just touched on it so fast I didn't get the whole message. Since these guys are in this perdiciment why not one of you test this?

Point is. I did read the thread thank you. But it sounded like you guys were arguing that the resistor fix would not work. Just offering another possibility that would be a gaurenteed fix.
