Don't waste your time with them.
They will just burn out.
And you will wind up buying Polargs.

^ Why would they burn out? I've never had any LED bulbs burn out on me. I've used 194 for at least a year with no problem in my last car.

^ This is true of colored bulbs: The color eventually burns off of the tip, making it look pink, or some other distorted color other than what they were originally.

Spencer, I think you might be a bit confused here...I think you might mean a 60-ohm resistor?

I can vouch for them... I bought some 194's for my sidemarkers. I got the 5 LED bulbs, though... The "inverted cone" weren't bright enough for me.
