Default LED Tail lights

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...Q5fAccessories

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting these led lights for my 98 truck.
Does anyone have any experience with these in term of fitment and functionality?
Do I have to do any mod to make it work normally?
Since it's led, would the blinkers blink faster than normal?

Thanks,
Tin

Default Check Them Out:

Be sure that the lamps are equipped with load resistors to make them appear to be standard filament lamps to the electronic control system. LED lamps draw very low current compared to filament lamps and sometimes the flasher system won't respond correctly.
