Any 1157 LED options that work?

Hey everybody I'm back with my 1998 Maxima here and I was wondering if there are any good 1157 brake light LED options that actually work in these cars without blowing fuses? Would love to know if you have any input thanks again

I don' have an answer for you.

What is the benefit of replacing incandesent bulbs with led ones?

I have no answers either.....

Since regular bulbs last many years and are reasonable and don't make your electric bills go higher, what's the allure? I hope it's not because they are much brighter. People with extremely bright tail lights annoy the hell out of me because they look like they are riding their brake pedal.

But what could be of some benefit is "Back Up" Light Bulbs that are really bright and don't need any socket tampering!

I'm all ears!

LEDs blowing fuses is new to me. They use less power so that's not it. Or are you putting the resistors in possibly wrong?
