Full LED Exterior bulbs question

Has anyone swapped all their front turn signals, and all 6 rear red bulbs-bumper lights, and both upper tail lights for LED?

If so were there any issues with blinking fast, losing cruise control, RF interference, etc?

I had thought about going aftermarket LED tails but I really don't like how they look. I've had high end LED bulbs in my front blinkers for a while but the issues typically arise when you swap all bulbs for LED since there's little resistance in the system.

Thanks in advance.

I am not too familiar with LED taillights and such but when I did my brothers jeep taillights you can order a "resistor kit" to take care of the fast blinking. I would try that, they seem to work.

I think you can also get led specific blinkers that plug in and replace the regular ones.

I have All or most of running lights LED, better ones will have resistor build in to compensate for fast blinking. Light bulbs by itself don't.

Is there a brand you typically go with?

I have my interiors all switched out without any problems, was hoping to do the rest later

Thanks everyone, I'm aware of the built in resistors and the add on resistors. Some places even have a LED blinker relay to fix the fast blinking without the use of the add on resistors as they get extremely hot and could be a fire hazard.

There is not a lot of brands to choose from. I get "smoked" to mach H2. Found same fot H3 (corner lights), but can't find fender corner in "smoked" all clear only.

Never had any problems with mine.

Yeah, I've just been doing a lot of internet looking for LED replacement stuff, and it seems for the H2, most all kits are bulb. My last truck had all LED's from head to toe, but I gave it an just got light covers this time around and saved some money and wiring headaches.
