yeah, what the hell are those, do they stop the rapid blinker?

i didnt have the rapid blinker problem, i had loss of cruise control, it didnt work at all, so after a trip with the trailer hooked up, i saw how this could solve the problem, so i tied these into the trailer wiring that is right behind the bumper, plus u get red light that light up the ground when i turn my blinkers on or press the brakes

how do you loose cruise control with leds?

I didn't loose my cruise control with mine. Only thing that happened to me right after I installed em, my brake switch went out (near the pedal), so that caused my brake lights not to light up and my cruise control not to work. So it may be something else not just the LEDS.

its because of the leds using such low power that the car thinks its a burnt bulb, and reason tast101s were still working is because his probably has a resistor built in, mine didnt

and im not the first this has happened to, in fact if you go to autozone and look by the light bulbs, they have little resistor/equalizer packs to fix this if you have installed led bulbs in your tails, they specifically say its for rapid blinkers and cruise control problems

Nice to know, Mine are probably just like you said because there's a little box on the back side of mine.

yep that is true I dont have cruise control right now, i did install resistors on my blinkers to fix rapid blink but not the brake so my cruise doesnt work. and all i did was add LED bulbs to my tails and the front corner blinker
