So you tried with one resistor first?

Some say they work with just one, others need 2.... wonder if it varies on the bulbs used?

Either way, I'm about to order some bulbs.. small things like this are fun.

Nice write up. Wish I had seen this before I bought the wire harness with the big resistor.

I was about to order a $30 harness & having to pull entire tail light assembly off the car, drill hole into the metal, etc. too much work.

This is much easier.

Yup, might absolutely depend on the bulbs. More LEDs = more power consumption, so you might be fine with only one resistor, as they are both in the same circuit.
But again, for that price, why not install them on both sides just to make sure?

Just wanted to let you guys know that all resistors have been shipped out to those that PM'd me. Hope you guys enjoy these LED's as much as i am and should be arriving this week to you all.

I purchased the same LED bulbs as Nookz and let me tell you they are the brightest reverse light bulbs i seen in a long time. They are a bit long in size but fit in the tail lights just fine. Last night i took some pics again just to show how bright they are. Either way you end up going you can't go wrong with LED's!!! Also i did use 1 resistor for each bulb and has been working perfect since the initial install. Here is a link to the bulbs i had gotten just in case you wanted to go that route - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
