Default Full LED Exterior bulbs question

Has anyone swapped all their front turn signals, and all 6 rear red bulbs-bumper lights, and both upper tail lights for LED?

If so were there any issues with blinking fast, losing cruise control, RF interference, etc?

I had thought about going aftermarket LED tails but I really don't like how they look. I've had high end LED bulbs in my front blinkers for a while but the issues typically arise when you swap all bulbs for LED since there's little resistance in the system.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have the front LED set and the red LED's for my tail lights. I havent changed out my bumper lights just yet.

I'll show them to you when you get here later.

So you did your front and all the rears with LED bulbs? Did you have any fast flashing or any other issues after installing?

Ok thanks! I actually just ordered the IPCW clear LED corner blinkers. Never cared for them until I met FYR and saw them on his rig yesterday and had to have them! However for the rear I think I'm just going to replace the bulbs with brighter LED bulbs and keep the factory housings.

There was a recent thread on here about LED headlights. A good handful of H2's ended up ordering them. However for over $400 a pair I'll stick with HID's!

You need resistors when you install any LED light that blinks. I just installed the IPCW tail lights on my H3 and I had hyper blinking, no cruise and my Kenwood got stuck in rear camera mode and became inoperable. I ended up at the stereo shop and this is the fix;
