Nope. you need resistors to use LEDS bulbs.

Phi, its different setup for the Tails. I did it with mine since I dont have the LCI tails anymore. You have to attach the resistor similar to the "Reverse LED" setup i came up with a few months back.

I sell the rear LEDs too. U can splice into the factory wires for the resistors or solder it onto the bulb.

Its easy to do man. But it is slightly more than just $20. If you ever want to see, I have them installed on mine and I can show you the setup.
