Default 7440 LED Turn Signal

I wanted to buy LED bulbs for my turns signals. I was looking at buying 2 of these:

https://www.autodirectsave.com...D/148/

but if you look under the description it says some LED turn signal bulbs won't work as replacements so a resistor has to be installed. I don't know if I want to go through this hassle for $25 a bulb. Does anyone know if the bulbs will work without modification? Also does anyone know of any good sites to buy better led 7440 bulbs from for possibly less?

These are good because they have 18 LEDs and point is all directions except for the socket direction.

Thanks!

1996 4 door Accord. EX 5 speed. Hunter Green.

Does it look good enough such that it's worth it? Other LED bulb suggestions?

give the technology a few years to get to it's prime then you will be able to use them. Especially when they get DOT approval

Can you direct me to where they sell them in pairs?

Also does anyone know where I can buy new JDM headlights?
Not the 2 piece replicas but the one piece design.

I usually buy my parts from http://www.tasauto.com
Are there any other good sites for accord parts? I love my 96 accord but why can't they make those sick LED tail lights for the 96-97 that they have for the 94-95. I would get the clear ones and black them out.

on the link you posted, it says that the bulbs are sold in pairs so its 25bucks for 2two bulbs

also try http://www.superlumination.com for all your LED needs

even get a LED clock light for the accord in any color

anything else try http://www.sportcompactonly.com or http://www.autopartswarehouse.com and
