I haven't read up on the issue in a while, but in MY 2000 I'm running all vled led's and the only one that gave me any trouble (besides changing out the flasher relay) was the 3rd brake light. I too am against using resistors so I just changed that one back to a standard bulb.
Everything else is led and I love them. 3yrs later they're still goin strong. Vleds makes a quality product imo
