Expert Reply:

If your current brake bulbs are halogen, you will need to add resistors to prevent hyper flashing when you install the Putco Plasma 7443 LED Lights - 360 Degree - Red - 2 Pack, part # P247443R-360. If you are replacing LED brake bulbs you should not need to add resistors to the replacement bulbs. Ideally, in both scenarios, your brake lamp indicator warning light should turn off on your dashboard. In case you do need a resistor I recommend, Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals - 50 Watts - 6 Ohm - Qty 2, part # DI34ZR. You would add one to each of your brake lights and that will eliminate the hyper flashing of your LEDs.

I have included a product description links, video review links, and instructions on how to install the resistors below.
