Drive on! I've installed LEDs and the resistors like the manufacturer suggests, they get hot, I wasn't seeing any benefit, so I went back to the filament bulbs.
I did have these spider lights in for a summer or two , cop gave me a verbal warning for modifying a safety system on the car.

Different states/provinces have different standards. Knew a guy that got a ticket for touching up the paint on his rear plate numbers, that got worn off by frequent car washes. If he had left it alone it would not have been "altering". But, the cop didn't like the guy to begin with.

The center mounted high stop light must be sending the correct resistance to the BCM for the cruise to work.
If you put standard (no resistor) LEDS in it the resistance will not be enough for the BCM.
