I was considering LED taillights http://www.quadratec.com/products/55213_910X_PG.htm that are set to work, flash normally, out of the box. 
Of course, they are exposed like the originals, so more pain if one gets bashed somehow (not looking to buy tail-light guards).

Still the grill signal bulbs and side markers.  I buy LED bulbs for those, do you think they'd require separate modification to signal at the same stock tempo as with the LED taillights?

It's a lot easier to just use a blinker relay that doesn't rely on resistance.  I'm mentioned before that the Hazard blinker is a great substitute for the original blinker relay.  Cost is something like $4 or just swap them in the meantime.

You usually need them if you ever connect a trailer too - unless they have LED tail lights.

The newer relay is nice since it is the same one that shipped with the Jeep but already modified to work with either incandescent or LED lights.
