I just searched the backissues at dmcnews.com;
it came up with a 10 ohm resistor. I also found a 
warning to wrap it up in electrical tape for insulation...

On my car I have jumpered the relayslot so my panellights 
are on, but DIMMED all the time; the idea with the 4 spade
relay is a nice one, but since I ALLWAYS have my lights on, 
the effect is the same. Having a jumper instead of a relay 
also allowed me to hook up a lightreminder-buzzer, 
so I don't forget to switch them off when I turn off the ignition...

On <http://members.home.nl/delorean/relays.jpg> 
you can see my setup for this jumper. 

Good luck,
