Who has LEDs? Do they need a Load Resistor? What wattage?

[Homeboy981]

Hi, I read the article about converting bulb lights to LEDs. Since I darkened my front and side markers and painted the rear "orange part" of the tail lights with Nightshades (kinda looks like a 550 tail light now). Now the BULB lights are barely visible!

I have several LEDs on order, since they are 3X stronger, for turn signals-front & rear, side markers, rear lights, tail/brake lights and interior door/map lights….the question is:

1). Do I need load resistors?
2). If so, on which lights? Where?
3). What wattage should they be? Either 50W6Ohm or 25W6Ohm?
4). Where do you mount the resistors? They DO get HOT!

Do we have someone here who has done this mod? I do not want to trigger a burned bulb light - because the LEDs pull so little power. Also, I do not want to have "fast flashing" lights either…..someone else must have been down this road before, what is the answer?

I have read several conflicting stories so I will rely on this board for the final word, what say you?
