You will need resistors, not enough juice. Otherwise you will suffer from hyperblink among other issues. Search the electronics forum, thats where this post belongs anyway.

There is a solution called spiderlite. I saw it on Two Guys Garage one day (or was it Horespower TV?). Anyway, it's meant as a direct replacement for OEM bulbs and it spreads out once you put it in so it fills the whole light fixture. It looked pretty cool.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.spiderlite.com/

Now these are the first LED drop-in products I've seen that might actually work, looks like they make use of the existing reflectors as well! They are a bit pricey though.

Yeah, but for $50 a peice, it's still alot cheaper than 04 lights and better looking than some alternatives. I know the regular bulb replacement LED's are just a little circle in the middle and look like crap.
