Default LED Lighting question

I want to install standard LED 3157 bulbs in my tail lights (I dont care for the eagle eyes). I am looking at a couple different versions of Cree Lights. Both are projection type. I am concerned because one seller says they are not compatible with C6. Is there a height limitation when looking at these types of bulbs I should be concerned with. I am just wanting somthing LED that will give me more light than stock and will fit inside my stock housings. Any help would be appreciated.

it may have something to do with installing resistors for the LED's......

Talk to Radio Flyer, he has a plug and play system that works well and some really bright LED tail lights. His package comes with resistors too.
