LED Lighting

Hey Guys , I just ordered a pair of aftermarket tail lights that will look good with my build , its far from stock but should look pretty good .
I was looking into LED lighting , I don't know to much about LED's used in automotive but I have done bikes in the past and had to use resisters to slow down the flasher . Is this the same case on trucks .
I'm going to use a 1156 for the reverse and a 1157 for the brake , any concern on wattage on these as far as amperage conserns with wires .
This is the lens I am going to use will match the black paint on the lover of my build .

Re: LED Lighting

Do the LED's pull more amps? I thought they drew less current. I haven't used them yet, hopefully someone who has will chime in. I like my tail lights stock, but those are the best looking aftermarket ones I've seen yet - nice choice. Post up pics when you get the LED's in.
