Actually, i do need the load resistors. They look perfect when the hazards are on but signaling left or right will make the blinkers flash rapidly. I ordered the bulbs and load resistor from
www.superbrightleds.com
The load resistor should be in next week and I will let you know if that rectified the problem.

cnugs127 - Any chance you can take a vid of brake plus turn signal? I'd be interested to see how they look together.

You might need to change the flasher relay or install a load resistor in line with the LED bulbs though - the LED does not have the same load as a normal bulb so it might flash faster

I can testify to this. I bought some for my license lamps, and they lasted about 4 months.

Man those look sick! I'm kinda scared about buying LED's from Super since I've also heard them not lasting very long + harsh shipping rate to Canada.
