Video: Why do you need these load resistors?
Q: How many resistors do I need for a pair of LED turn signal light bulbs?
A: General speaking, each LED bulb requires one load resistor. For example, if you install both front and back turn signal lights with LED bulbs, therefore you will need 4 load resistors in total.
Q: Shall I use load resistors or LED flasher?
A: LED flasher only works for certain cars, but load resistors will work for all. Unless you know for sure the LED flasher works for your car, we still recommend you using load resistors.
Q: How do I install the load resistors?
A: Please visit How To Install Load Resistors & How To Troubleshoot If Resistor Not Working for more details.
Q: Can I use quick-tap to connect the resistors?
A: We highly recommend you hard-wire (merge) the resistor to the turn signal light harness. Quick-tap is known to have loose connection issue.
Q: How come I still experience hyper flash after installing the load resistors?
Q: My front turn signal light bulbs function for both blinkers and parking lights, do I still need resistors?
A: Yes, you do, and please tap the resistor wires to the blinker + and the ground.
Q: My car does not have wires from the turn signal light socket, how do I tap the resistors in this case?
A: For some vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Hyundai, Kia, there are no wires coming out from the turn signal lights. However, there's always an adapter with all the wires connect to the headlamp and there's two wires associated with the turn signal light. Find these two wires and tap the load resistors there.
Q: Do I need load resistors for brake/tail lights?
A: General speaking, you do not need load resistors for brake lights or tail lights, unless you are experiencing the LED bulbs causing error message on dashboard.
Q: Where shall I mount the resistor?
A: Since the load resistors will generate a lot of heat, therefore, please mount the load resistor on the metal.
This page features a pair of 6 Ohm 50W LED Load Resistors for LED Turn Signal Light Fix or LED License Plate Lights Error Fix.
These 6 Ohm, 50 Watt LED load resistors will work on any vehicle and can be connected across the turn signal bulbs or License Plate Lights to simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve LED related turn signal lights or license plate light problems such as hyper flashing, no flashing or burnt out bulb indications. One LED resistor is required for each turn signal bulb or each license plate light bulb.
Connect one wire to ground and the other wire to the turn/brake wire. You can use the T taps so you do not have to cut your car's wiring. One Load Resistor is required for each turn signal bulb. For more detail, please check How To Install Load Resistors & How To Troubleshoot If Resistor Not Working.
Note: LED Load Resistor will get hot, therefore, please don't mount the LED load resistors on plastic.

The 6-ohm load resistors worked great for my application on my Toyota Tacoma for LED turn signal lights.
I used these on a 2009 Mercedes E350 to turn off the bulb malfunction after replacing the front bumper with out side markers and with out fog lamps. I installed these resistors in place of the side marker bulbs and the fog lamp bulbs and no more warnings.
I bought both the 60SMD dual color switching LED bulbs and the load resistors from this guy and I am very satisfied about the output. Exceptional output and oh yes, really nice match with my HID headlights also also the high beam 9005 LED daytime lamps (also from IJDMTOY). I think I will finish rest of my Scion FR-S license plate lights, back up lights as well as the rear turn signal lights from this company! I am just one very happy customer!
