get flasher relay: CF18-08 from suprebrightleds.com for $13 and you should be good without having to bother with all the resistors at each bulb. a direct replacement with oem for those changing to LED turn signals.

thanks 1epoXyBox. btw, do you have any water seaping in?
i noticed a little water getting in at the top of the LEDs. i've already made it tight enough. just wondering if i was the only one. i bought mine from bumimoto(ebay), don't know if that makes any difference. they all look the same to me.

Yeah. When I wash the car, I always see the soapy water on the bottom of the tail light. Not sure how it gets in, because I tightened those babys good. The water doesn't seem to stay in there forever, so I just live with it. I am too lazy to pull the lights apart and seal everything myself.

This a great writeup and deserves to be in the Tech section!!
vote+1 or that!
Just followed it tonight installing my own led taillights and it was just perfect.
The only thing I did change was putting the harness through the holes of the scion first before connecting them. That seemed to keep the wires from crunching up.

I have never done anything to a car before, so if I got these and tried to install them do you think I'd be able to do it? 
Also, what is a good seller on ebay? One that doesn't sell the ones where water gets in.
