LED's keep blowing on me!

Once again a 194 LED bulb blew on me, left front parking light this time and last time it was a lisense plate light.. can someone please link me to a website that has LED's to our resistence/wattage specs so I can get some that wont blow or damage my electrical system more then it already is? I dont want to do inline resister bullsht and want hyperblinkers if it helps, theres gotta be LED bulbs out there that I can just plug in and not have to worry right?

I buy my LEDs from Radio Shack. They should have a variety of LEDs there that have resistance levels for our cars.

What is the resistence level for our cars lighting? I really dont want to waste another $100 on lights and have them be the wrong whatever and burn out or blow a harness, ya know. I just want to be totally sure this time. Thanks guys.
