You'll definitely need resistors if you have LED bulbs. I can't imagine how dim those LED bulbs must be.

Its big and Grey!
at fist I thought this post was a joke, but since they are made by Piaa, I am wondering how the final outcome will look. I would not think resistors would be needed for fog lights.

you don't need resistor for this use. you would need a resistor if you were to use the LEDs for blinkers and only when you replace both front and back blinkers. The resistor acts as a load so the lights don't blink fast (burnt out light bulbs).
