I'm thinking of getting Blue LED Wedge lights with (5) Bright blue LED's per bulb, for my Tach and Speedo. I was also thinking about getting some LED bulbs for the tail light.

Would I need some resistors or diodes or whatever crap you need for the turn signals, if I get the LED bulbs for the tail light?

These are the tail light bulbs I plan on getting.

as long as you keep regular filament bulbs in the turn signals you'll be fine, if your only replacing the tail bulbs, it will work fine

I'm sure you've searched the other topics, but remember that you will need to do something about the license plate. Some people have separate white plate screw lights to go with the red LED tails.

Thanks guys. The SMD LED light bulbs I'm going to get have 360 degree lighting like a regular light bulb, so I'm hoping that I don't need anything else for the license plate.

ahhh, you getting white or red leds?  The white ones are not very efficient when shining through red plastic.  Most localities require white illumination for the license plate.

Oh crap, you're right. I forgot about the color difference. I was planning on getting red. Which are the screw lights that you mentioned, Efushi?
