LED turn signal resistor install question

On the rear turn signal bulbs, there are 3 wires (green, yellow, white)

Anybody know off hand which two you tap the resistors into?

TIA

 

Usually the LED bulbs have the resistors built into the bulb, what bulbs are you switching to??

 

Yellow is your left rear turn signal wire the other side is LT blue. The resistor will go from that to ground. Which should be your white wire.

 

Green and other that is thinnest. Thick wire is running lights. Green is ground.

 

That would probably work also. I just YouTube searched LED turn signal resistors and it showed going across not inline. Have had it that way now since December and works perfect. So maybe both would work.

 

no it goes to ground. A standard light bulb always has ground on one lead. When the 12v flows through its not a dead short because of the resistance. The filament becomes warm and this is what gives you your light. The resistor is doing the same thing. But instead of omitting light it just transfers the heat. That's why the good resistors have heatsinks


Green should be your parking light. Not ground, but verify to confirm as I'm not 100% sure

 

Okay now I am second guessing cause it's been a bit. I just remember I didn't tap into the fat wire. There are some good instruction on YouTube. And iJDMtoy.com

 

They are meant to run in parallel not series. When race "inline" (series) it changes the resistance. Some computers might be able to pick it up and it will fake it out but it won't be installed properly. Instead you need to "bridge" (parallel) the resistor

 

Excellent. Thought that was right.
Probably total confused the OP now. My apologies.
