Got tired of hearing the rapid turn signal noise due to the LED switchbacks and decided to install these resistors I got from a local supplier.

http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/accessories/led-accessories/resistors/led-resistor-kit-18974

To install I jack the car up and removed the under body pan for easier access to the wires. Probably could be done by going through the wheel well but I didn't want to have to squeeze through there.

I used the supplied clips and spliced into the wire harness.

Then added wire looms electrical tape and zip-tied the resistor to the wire loom.

Works like a charm, and I don't have to hear the rapid clicks when turning.

Did you compare you car to another? Mine is not a rapid blink. It's actually slower than my other cars with regular 1157 bulbs.

It was the same horse trotting noise that you find on the Diode Dynamics youtube videos.

I did the same, but i didnt want to mess up the stock harness and i wanted to put the resistor against metal for better heat transfer so i also added a 7443 harness extension and hacked that up
