ex. 6ohm 50w resistor :yeshrug:

Before any punches you in the butt, you don't need to add resistors. You remove the old glass bulbs and insert the LED bulbs.
You may encounter some issues with the LED bulbs if they aren't the correct wattage. They'll still work but they might flash faster or slower than the glass ones. Actually, this happens if you buy the wrong wattage glass bulbs too.
I bought some years ago, they sucked. They worked but they weren't bright at all. That's a safety issue if the drivers behind you can't tell you have the brakes on..
