Default SuperBright LED's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am converting my front parking lamps the the clear Lenses version that Q-tec sells. The problem is that you can see the amber bulb in the middle of the clear lens-not the look I want. My questions are:

Will these amber 3157 LED's work in the front parking lamps:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...F315x-xLX3.htm


If so, will I need a load resistor (or 2) kit to work with the CanBus so that it does not blink to fast. They sell a 25 OHM, 25 Watt resistor that is labeled for side marker lights. OR they sell a 6 OHM, 50 Watt for turn signal bulbs.

Which do I get?

Thanks

I have been playing with LEDs in the front and rear turn signals for about 6 weeks now and I'm still not happy.

SuperBright LEDs are ok. But V-LEDs are better, though, more expensive. I have the rears in fine. But I am still working on getting the white/amber switchback LEDs to work in the front, I can't get the load resistors working properly. I had to V-LED V-Stars in the rear, but they get a little caught up and one of mine broke, now I just use the standard cylindrical LEDs.

Here is a comparison to stock. I used 50w 6ohm load resistors on either side in the rear and I have experimented with 6ohm and 1.2ohms in the front. Trying 1.5 ohms next.
