[Shotimes] LEDs and lamp out

[Donald Mallinson]

Yes, you need a resistor, which is why I don't have them on any of my 
cars.   I don't have the electircal knowledge to say what value you need 
on that resistor, but I am sure someone here does.  Have you asked the 
manufacturer of the bulbs?  Usuall they sell the proper resistor.
