LED tails compatible with 90-94?

a semi related question, i ordered the Depo LED tails for my 96, and numerous threads have talked about resistor boxes being required to keep the dash light off of.
all the guys selling these tails on Ebay, that I contacted had no idea about where to get such boxes or if they were even included.
should the resistor boxes come with the tails or is it something i have to buy/build? wiring a resistor, or a few, inline with the tails is not difficult nor expensive but if there is a plug and play solutions, that would be much easier.

its a simulated load. however you wanna do it. oem tail lights have what.....6 bulbs? and what wattage? duplicate that draw. break out your multi meters. look on ebay for led corection kits

I installed LED brake lights for my 98 Celsior modifying the failure sensor unit in the trunk room.
Removing a small resistor that drives the lamp driver does not require a big high wattage resistor in parallel with LEDs. This is safer not to have the fire risks. The best merit is that the alternator and the battery do not need to supply big currents.

This mod is for a 98 JDM Celsior.. May be 98-00 USM is similar.

But if the pin assignments of the unit are equal between 98-00 JDM and 95-97 USM, cutting the wire of the pin 14 would work.
