    This.
    You should only need 1 set of resistors in the circuit. Weather that’s in the front or back, doesn’t matter

    I tried this on my truck and it required resistors front and back. As a matter of fact I had to replace one because it went bad and still had one working on the other end.

    Not arguing. Just relaying my experience.

    It REALLY comes down to what brand LED bulb you swap out with. There’s a plethora of different brands/led type/wattage/etc. some people will require 2 Sets of load resistors, some with only requier 1, and there are people that don’t need them at all.
    I can’t test every LED combination on the planet, so I can’t confirm everyone’s different setup. My best recommendation is to install your choose of lights, then test with the truck OFF AND RUNNING.

    If you have hyperflash, add resistors(10ohm seems to do the trick)
    If you have 1 flash and then the entire turn signals stop working, remove any aftermarket resistors.

    True day. Just for informational purposes the rear are v-led's HVR bulbs. Actually not sure what the fronts are. Could be vled, Super bright, or Diode Dynamics.

    Patiently waiting for the next drop, I think I'm going to wear out my F5 key. Any update on expected drop dates for v1 & v2 @MESO? :pccoffee::spending:

    just installed my stage 2 rings and used a $15 harbor freight hot knife to cut the ring out worked well and no chips in the housing. Now to wait for the JB weld to set and will be ready to finish it off.

    It looks and seems way more intimidating than actually doing it.
