    How do I connect the load risistors to the wires?
    I have front hid and rear strobe brake lights. I just need them for the from correct?

    Why do you think you need resistors? I may understand HID so Hi beam indicator works but strobe brakes? Elaborate.

    Ah, for LED turn signals (which has nothing to do with your HID or Strobe brakes). So please (I will write it slowly so you can read it :))

    Like jbrandt wrote above get LED compatible flasher for 10-15 dollars depends on source and, location (shipping and/or taxes). If I remember correctly I got this one for 13 dollars plus tax at Autozone.

    The purpose of the hyper flash is to tell you that a light is burned out/not functioning. So other that removing that functionality, no, nothing else really "happens" aside from just being annoying.

    Depending on your state, though, you may fail a safety inspection because of it.

    It's $10 and takes 12 seconds to replace. Just fix it.

    Or if state trooper is anal you may get a ticket or "fix it" order. The frequency of hyperflashing turn signal is beyond legal limits.

    Should we just tell him his truck will explode if he doesn't fix it?
