Almost every one of the aftermarket tail lights/brake lights/turn signals come with resistors. But a lot of the manufactures don't include any sort of resistor on the 3rd brake light, so that's typically where the problem stems from.

Good information, though.

Recon does...

Bought those a year ago they're still running good. Don't know what leds have to do with cruise control? Im running leds all around cruise control works fine. I feel as if people over react on aftermarket products. Buy quality products, properly install and you're good to go.

if your third brake LED did not have a load resistor either built into it.. plug and play or one added to a non plug and play your cruise may not work correctly or at all...

Smoked tails and decent output are a non-sequitur, IMHO.

BTW - you don't need resistors - use a Tridon EP-27 SS flasher instead.

So is bought these then my turn signal will not blink fast right. See that is what my other question was, would the turn signal blink all crazy with these tail lights?

most people need the EP-27 for front LED Turn bulbs, but MGD is correct.. you install the EP-27 you need not worry

Make sure it is a ep-27 for LEDs. There is a difference.
