They sell a resistor http://www.jamstrait.com/products.html#aluminum for use with these LED bulbs. I used one of their hyperbright red bulbs (3157) in my rear fog. I was looking for a higher wattage (or brighter) bulb in red. This seemed to be a tad bit brighter than my tail light, but not as bright as the (depressed) brake light. I would like to easily trick/wire the 3157 to be lit like a brake light vice a 3156 tail light.

I installed the Jamstrait red LEDS for my turn signals and the flash rate was way too fast. I ended up putting the regular bulbs back in. I am going to buy two of those resistors and try it again. Thanks for the info...
