But do they run hot? I've heard many stories of resistors clearing up the error issue, but always at the expense of running hot. Let me know!
True LED lights should not get hot at all. That is the part of the advantage.

Its not the LEDs that run hot but the resistors that you have to add to fool the LCM into thinking you still have normal bulbs that causes the heat. In theory the bulb or the resistor should actually dissipate the same amount of heat. So if you do your calculations well you should be OK.
