I would like to replace my exisiting tail light bulbs with LED's.

Everyplace I have gone or questioned said that I need a load resistor between the leads of each bulb. Does anyone make an LED with the resistors built in? I do not want to purchase a entire LED light assembly, I just want to change the bulbs. The reason I do not want to purchase the entire premade is because they don not work sequentially as mine do now.


Any help appreciated.:thumbsup:

Nobody makes them built in, they are just too big for that. If you want to chang 'em your gonna need all 8 resistors.

V-LEDS.com, they'll answer your questions on this and they have all the stuff on hand. I know because they did mine!

You will need 2 50 watt resistors for each side- 4 in total. These will simulate the load of the stock turn bulbs in the rear. If you don't the signals will quick flash as in the burned bulb detection. I wired mine in the trunk behind the trim panels. They don't need to be at the bulbs just attached to the circuit. Any more than 2 per side is a waste of money and will double the draw on the circuit.

LED taillight bulbs

Thanks to all for the information. I will try to get the materials and get the job done.....will post afterward.

I've got led bulbs in mine as well except that mine are non-sequential (but they all light). I have a 25 watt and a 50 watt in parallel on both sides. For mounting I bought some magnets at Lowes (1/2 x 3/4 x 1 1/4) and glued the resistors to them. Those resistors get pretty hot. I would also recommend soldering them in once you find the right combination since those clip on connectors aren't very reliable.

Superbrightlights.com has 2 flasher modules that work with LED's without having to install resistors. :woot:

There is no "flasher" you can replace on the late model mopars.

You only need one 3 ohm, 50 watt resister per side on the back. If you do the front, one 6 ohm, 25 watt per side on the front.

A set of these usually does the trick for the rear tail lights: Diode Dynamics - LED Resistor Kit - Resistors - LED Accessories - Accessories
