Default LED Turn Signals and Brake Lights

This question is more so for my bike, but could be used for the truck too. Has anyone used any of the LED lights with the built in resistors? Just curious of the quality and how bright they are? Are they worth the 13 bucks a piece. I am mainly looking at the LED for the bike because of where I have my lights mounted, it has a tendency to shake apart the filament, so LEDs would be better off. I am trying to avoid splicing/soldering in resistors too... If I have good luck with the bike, the truck is g oing to be the next! Any input is appreciated guys.

I am curious as well. I could never get the LED's to work on my truck even with the resistor.

I think the standard LED bulbs for the reverse lights are plug and play, no resistors probably because they don't flash

True, im running White LEDs for my Brakeup lights no resistor, no problems yet.
I havnt tried Built-In Resistor LEDs cause I have not found any, other then Expensive CANbus ones (which I assume are just built in Resistors)
