These will fit the brake lights as well yes? And no need for a resistor kit on those?

Just remove the taillights by removing the interior cover, then the three nuts on each screw stud on the tail light, pop the tail light out, swap the bulbs out, then attach the resistors. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. Thanks!

In case you wondered about daylight

As with many videos I haven't seen many daylight videos of aftermarket LED signals in the rear. So I thought I would post my own. Yes my car is dirty

. This is a side by side comparison with the regular bulb and LED.

Now this LED bulb was not from DD, but it is very similar to DD's so you should get the same results if not better.

Where do you mount the resistors on the back? I know you can't mount it on plastic cuz it gets hot..=/ . I plan on changing out the front turn signals also to a 4w Switchback led, What resistor will i need, 3ohm or 6ohm? Thanks.

You can mount it anywhere, just make sure it is not touching the weaker black interior plastic. It gets hot like a light bulb. I'd recommend suspending it in place. I would recommend 6 ohm resistors.

Thanks!
