^ these will be fine. if you solder them on to the positive side of the LED, the silver line on the diode must be closest to where you soldered, or vice versa if you put them on the neg...
confused yet?
PM me when you get to ready to do this and ill draw you a diagram.

It doesn't have to be on the LED itself (if you cant fit it), just on the line its getting power/ground from.

There should be a min and max amp rating on the LED package. Measure your car's typical system voltage while it is running. See if the voltage goes up at higher RPM's. Take the highest voltage reading and divide by the LED's maximun current/amp rating to the the resistor size in Ohms. Your LED's will last indefinately with the right resistor.
