Not on mine; everything was just "plug & play."

- you definetly 100% do NOT need resistors with License Plate LED's. Complete crap from whomever told you that.

They're cheap LED's and/or not suited for use for the license plate.

Flickering LED's are an issue in the License Plate location. Some others as well, but the LP is the worst. Best way to "fight" it that I've found so far is an LED with a small heat sink, like the SuperBrights SuperNova.

I've replaced at least 2 or 3 sets of LP LED's for flickering. I've had the SuperNova's for a year or more with no problems.

Thanks for the compliment. I have just the "Towers". The Tower III's won't fit in there. Anything taller than the single "leve" ones won't have a chance of squeezing into that little space.
