One word of caution on this thread...I LOVE the LED idea and just installed on my Lonestar indicator/brake AND running tail lights, BUT I had to change the flasher units in the Painless wiring harness to handle the 'no resistance' LEDs. The replacements cost me $40 each from Summit (one for normal flashers, one for emergency flashers, OR you need to put load resistors across the LEDs (but everything I researched indicates these as a source of heat generation...JUST what we need in Texas in the summer...LOL). Here's the replacements I used in case anyone is interested and using a Painless harness
