No load resistors are needed for any of this correct?

What would the load resistors be used for then?

I think those are for just standard LEDs that people purchase to make their own. Or like when blinkers blink fast because LEDs don't throw enough of a load for the truck to see your bulbs are there and not burnt out. From my understanding, the LED's have everything built in ready to go.

I was just curious because I was reading somewhere about a single LED only outputing 3V so that is why they blink so fast or are blown by the truck......that company has 4-LED lights for a little bit more, and this is just me thinking outloud, wouldn't that work better since 3X4 = 12....12V against 12V should give the correct amount of "load" or whatever for the truck to not blow them or anything.........am I right or am I just way off lol :hands:

What headlights bulbs (I don't have the money for a HID system, yet...) would compliment the cool white color?

Correct. You can also go to www.superbrightleds.com and they have a tool there to look up your vehicle and find what number is for each bulb, then you can x-reference to the right bulb on their site ;)

Reverse Lights are 3157 right?

Or you can go to the sylvania.com website, then automotive lighting, then lamp replacement guide. That's what I would recommend.
