LED Resistor Kit

[randotheking]

Can someone tell me which wires I need to tap into for the front turn signal? I'm installing LED switchbacks. I have 4 LED Resistor Kits ready to install in order to fix the fast blinkers. Wasn't sure if I needed a kit for the side markers since they feed off the same power

I got plug-n-play inline resistors from eBay. I didn't want to splice into anything. Unfortunately they didn't last long and I ended up removing. They did work for awhile and I only had to put them in the turn-signal wire to work. I did not need to mess with the side marker at all.

The hardest part is they get really hot. Burn your finger while testing hot. Finding a place to mount to make sure they don't melt anything was the biggest challenge. There's plenty of plastic in there but not much metal.

Good luck!!!

Yeah I got the same ones from DD. I saw the warnings about how hot it gets, which of the 3 wires did you plug into? I think I'm plugged into the wrong ones because I still get fast blink and it doesn't get hot

I didn't see a good spot to mount it. Everything is plastic...the fast blink is driving me crazy. I might go back to stock bulbs

I ordered something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7443-LED-50...r-Canceller-/331667262928?hash=item4d38e8cdd0

It worked initially but one of them stopped working and I pulled them. This was plug-n-play so it only worked in one position. I'm sorry I wish I could be more helpful. If it's not getting hot it's not working I can tell you that. I used zip ties to make the wires taught so they wouldn't flop around touching any plastic. It basically kept the resistors hanging in mid-air so they really weren't mounted to anything. I also wrapped connectors in electrical tape to keep them secure. The tension might have contributed to one failing after a couple months but I can't be sure. It was a frustrating installation experience.

I recently went with the OPT7 sequential turn signals. They replace the entire turn signal housing and have the resistor built-in. [ame] They're very pricey though but I do like them a lot. (I've got no affiliation I just like them and hope they last). Good luck!!!

I just ordered the opt7. Since your video was almost a year ago, have the opt7 sequential signal lights had any issues?

No issues so far.
