Do I need resistors to put in leds in my tails to keep from hyper flashing? If so I have seen 50 watt ones and 25 watt ones which so I need?

depends on voltage and current accepted by the led.

V = supply voltage (12V)
UL = max voltage of the led element (Volt)
IL = max current accepted by led element (Ampere)
R = resistor value needed (Ohm)
P = dissipated power of the R (Watt)

R = (V - UL)/IL (Ohm)

P = R.IL.IL (Watt)

but i suppose aftermarket led tail lights have their own resistor?

50w6ohm is what you need.

I don't actually sell them. LOL

You can nab 'em from Retro-solutions or v-leds (but they are on my ****list right now).

Toronto? Oh no clue on that one man

I can order through either as they both ship to Canada.
