Thanks again. Given the amount of plastic at the back in the housing, is it safe to mount a second set of load resistors back there? I managed to mount them at the front OK, I could make sure the resistor does not touch too much of the plastic.

Lastly, I also stumbled actoss these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-AMBER-No...-/221076959783 boasting 'no resistor' needed as they're already built in. Could these be for real and if so, are they suitable?

Thanks again.

The metal cased load resistors should not get too hot, where you need to worry about the plastic melting. The bulbs with built in resistors are legitimate, but the way that they are made they will likely fail quickly due to the head from the internal load resistor.
