LED Tail-lights

Hey guys, I've been wanting to get LED tail lights and seen numerous different sets. I'm curious as to which ones will and will not throw the "bulb-out" light.

Links/pics greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

any led tailights will give you an error. you have to install resistors.

Well yes, but I was wondering if any sets had them built-in already. I emailed one store online and they said the set they sell does have built-ins, but I'm weary of pulling the trigger on a $175 set based on their assurance. I don't feel like going through a returns hassle if need be.

it might be worth it, considering resistors will set you back $3-$5 each.
