What about the light bulb method? Any comments on using those? The one guy said his was ok with it, I assume its a 1157 bulb? Im heading to my electronics shop now and will grab the 4 1 ohm resistors anyway just incase the bulb idea is no good. Thanks.

yeah, the lightbulb method is fine =) Not sure on the bulb number, I know it's been posted here and there a few times. Alot of people like the bulb because it shows them that the PSU is on. Just get one that is good for a good one amp draw at 5V.
