Default LED tails and lost cruise.....found it again !!
After putting in LEDs in ALL the brake and taillights I lost my cruise control ....I heard that to regain cruise I would need some resistors.....I did notice in the 3rd light that the bulbs were always dim when the lights were on.....well.... 1 of the 3rd light LEDs failed so I put in some regular bulbs in both of the sockets........and cruise came BACK ....no resistor blocks needed

Yes, because the filaments of the regular bulbs provide the resistance that LED bulbs don't.
