Hey Tim or Bigdog...help

OK...If i were to hook up three LED's to my front side blinker, what would be the best way to hook them up? I did buy resistors because the LED draws very low voltage. My thinking is that I have two possible hook ups.. (A) I can attach a resistor to each LED(which will be a total of however many LED's i use) or (B) I can attach only one resistor to the main line and then I can attach the 3 LED's without resistors...does this make sense? Anyways, if ya get a chance to reply please do if not thats ok too.

OOPS, I meantto say this...I will be using the line from the front side blinker which will feed the LED's which are going to be somewhere else on the car.

My question is what is the reason for the resistor? Why not just get 12V LEDs which would make life alot easier. Plus if do your method the LEDs wont be that bright. Also if I remember correctly, you can use one resistor for all 3 if you run it in parallel or you would need one for each resistor if you ran it in series. If I got it backwards then my bad.
