Resistor Free LED Bulbs for Turn Signals/Tail lights

As the title says, has anyone been able to find LED bulbs that don't require a resistor to operate correctly?

I hate splicing wires, I had to do it before on an older car and the resistors went bad, wires started to arc when a tap went bad....etc. I just don't feel like dealing with that type of mess and looking for bulbs that have resistors built in and/or draw enough voltage to no throw codes.

I don't need resistors for the side markers and reverse lights, so I can go the cheap route on these. Looking to replace everything in the taillights and front turn signals.

Thanks in advance for guaranteed solutions

These worked for me in the tails:

I don't have any for sale any more but you can see the pictures I took and find the same bulbs on ebay from various vendors (all seem to be from the same source).

Found the original vendor for mine:

Thanks for tracking that down!

Those would be good for the taillights, still need to find something amber though for the turn signals
