LED Bulbs are a

They cause your turn signals to hyper-blink..and I don't think hyper-blinking on a $30k+ car looks right.

Thats correct, i tried to put an LED sidemarker that blinks, but it would hyperblink and would terrible so we had to just have it constanly on.

can't you wire in a resistor so they don't hyperblink (I thought the problem was the leds are much less of a load than a bulb)?

Yes, you can use a resistor. I know someone who has. I wanted to do the same for my Z3, but I changed my mind. If you want, I could ask him for the info. What type of LED are you using?
