I have heard that some of the better ones have a built in resistor. If the ones you have will not run your flasher just replace the flasher with an electronic one.

If your cruise control requires a 'signal' from the brake light circuit, you will probably need the resistor, or, install another incandescent inline with the brake circuit. Or hide a bulb on each side of the car to create the necessary draw to disengage the cruise.

I tried a set ... and did NOT like them ...
 I found a #2057 works better for me ... in a older style tail light.

Another thing to remember, LED's are directional. Once you get about 15 degrees from direct viewpoint, they are less visable than a regular light bulb. just my .02

My $.02, LEDs suck! Like Fitzwell said they are only bright from a direct view point and even then it is more of a weird glow than a true light, JMO though.

You guys must be getting some really cheap LED lights. The ones I have on my 34 are very bright and the optical reflector lense they are in allows very good viewing from the sides, at least as good as traditional bulbs and lenses.
