I'm looking into a lighting project that will use some 12v LED bulbs like this one. I know that simple LEDs shouldn't be wired in parallel but what about the bulbs? Do they have circuitry that limit the problems?

Pepper, you missed the point that these are LED LAMPS rated for replacement of bayonet-base 1156 lamps for 12V automotive use.If its the same colour and the same type yes, with 2 different colours only 1 would light up, and if they the same colour but different types or batches the brightness might not be even.
It is illegal in many countries like Canada to tamper with vehicle lighting. These LED bulbs will have different brightness, angles and colors than the original incandescent bulbs that the vehicle was certified with.
These bulbs say INDOORS USE ONLY because they are not wearherproof!
Where in a vehicle is a bulb exposed to the elements? All I've seen are located behind a sealed cover.................................

The campers I have seen are plugged into 120VAC at the camper sites. Why use brake light bulbs inside a camper?And why should I care about obscure Canadian vehicle regulations when I replace the 12V 1157 lamps in my Camper for inside lighting as a means of reducing the total battery draw.

I have designed LED bulbs.In playing around with the LED lamps I've noticed that I can dim them by just lowering the voltage. Why can't I just use some resistors to lower the voltage for some of the lamps and dim them that way?
