Hassle free LEDs?
Are there any easy to do LEDs that dont require soldering or adding resistors or anything for interior lights or tails/brakes/reverse lights? LEDs that just go in like a normal bulb

yes there are LED's that come with normal bulb bases, 194 are pretty typical for most of the interior, and I pretty sure they have the same for the other bulbs, normally they are clusters of more than one LED

Look for ones already 12v ready. You can find them on Oznium, EBay, and some auto part stores.

check my signature for bulb sizes.
but since soldering is a useful skill... i'd look into learning at least a little, and being able to do it for yourself.

quite a bit brighter. also, if you get ones without radially mounted leds (mounted on the edge) youre not gonna get a whole lot ore than a bright circle as a light. the normal bulb emits light all around, which reflects off of the light housing, and the radially mounted leds do the same. so if you plan on tinting your tails, or are worried about crap from cops, get the ones with the radially mounted leds.
