I tried the LED tail light bulbs... they had some ridiculously-high number of LEDs in each bulb (34?) but I saw that they were still noticeably dimmer than stock, so I put the stock bulbs back in.
What I *did* really like is replacing the stock amber front turn signal bulbs with the white LED bulbs -- just as bright in this application, and looks so much better (in my opinion). Now I just have to solve the fast-blink problem...

You do need the resistor to slow down the blink. Above post is correct, it fools the car into thinking a standard bulb is installed. Go to autoillumination.com. Not sure of the part number for the resistor but their LED bulb for a C6 is 3157 Light Tower II toward the bottom of the page.

I installed a product called "Sweeplites." They have a website, but it is under construction. They use Ebay for selling. Here is the url

They are special circuit multiple L.E.D.s. You can see the video. I also have videos I took with my iPhone. They really look great. The only problem is hyper flash. They come with load resistors, but I bought four 6hm/50watt separately. They are wired in parallel, to the outside wires. No hyper flash, but they do get hot, so far no problems. I will be in a Christmas Parade on Saturday, lots of braking and constant 4-way flashing. I will be checking for heat problems (after the parade) and I will post the results if anyone is interested. You can email me at phil@theretiredaviator.com if you have any more questions.
