you are going to need some resistors or you will have issues, the resistance through an led bulb is so much less than e regular bulb that the car thinks the tailights are blown and trigger all kind of warning lights and just dont act right. I got some resistors and installed them and everything works fine now.

thank you fusion 04 i looked every where ( well i guess not huh ). CHM where did you find to be a good spot to wire in the resistor? Does any one have a picof LED in their tails. I saw the sunfire that had custom ones ( looked hot ) but i wanna just see the LED bulb.

just a note, if you buy LED bulbs that don't have resistors pre wired in, you're probly buying a garbage product anyway.... as far as i'm concerned, the difference between me and few other ppl, and the ppl that buy the Prebuilt LED bulbs, is the amount of creativity that goes into the tail lights i'm going to be making a mold of my tails, and forming some clear plexy into them, and building a Massive LED array this will be a happy time haha.

anyway, ya, i had a friend with LED tails in his 03 grand am, his only problem was crappy soldering from the place they build them, i took them apart and redid all the old soldering and they worked great , that was about a year ago (couple months after he got them), and as far as i know they're still running strong
