This is why you see burnt sections on LED taillights every so often. When voltage is first applied, the full 14 volts hits the first LED for a microsecond, which kills it quickly. I'm making my own using a 680 ohm resistor for each high-brightness LED and mounting them in a drilled backing plate. Each LED-resistor section is then wired parallel to each other. No failures yet!
Best of luck!
