Anyone ever swapped out their tail light bulbs for LEDs? I finally got some that are nice enough and bright enough to be better than the incandescent bulbs, aaaand they don't flash. I already know about needing resistors or LED flashers, but I already have a LED flasher installed. I've been running LED switchback turn signals up front for a while now, and I thought that replacing the flasher would work for the front and rear. But with these they don't flash for the turn signals, and they don't light up for the brake lights. They're definitely meant to be used for brake light/turn signal-in-one applications too.
So I guess the question is even though I've got a LED flasher, would resistors still be necessary for the rear? I'll probably just return them, not worth my time since I figured they'd work fine.
