LED Tail light upgrade
I recently installed Bargman LED tail lights in a 2005 Chevy Jayco Escapade and had to add resistors to the turn signal circuits so the flasher would not flash too rapidly. This I understand but what ...

If you get resistors you negate all the advantages of the LED bulbs. They still draw more current and the resistors can burn out just like the old bulbs.
A single resister for each side is STILL less current than the original incandescent bulbs. However, less current is only important while parked with the engine off. While driving, your vehicle is charging anyway. Therefore, the advantage of LEDs in running, brake, and turn signals is brightness, faster response, and long life...not necessarily less current.
