Installing Resistors for LED Turn Signals

Modifying the resistor in the flasher module does work with daytime running lights.

It's not a cure-all for each model. After I was done. The blinker rate was good. (normal) The right blinker was perfect, but the left would not flash unless the DTRLs were off..as in with the headlights on. Some sort of back feeding issue that I only was able to cure by snipping the wire near the fuse panel and eliminating the feature altogether. It's possible that the mod works great in the three wire plug/system. Mine is a two wire plug. Had I had this information earlier, I wouldn't have bought LEDs, wouldn't have modified the flasher. I would have replaced the melted lights and then snipped the DTRL wire to keep the new lights from melting. Period. I'm just trying to help out others in pointing out that there are options and easier ways to keep your lenses from melting.

 

no DTRLs FTW.........

 

I concur with j0sh and VE7OSR, if it does not work, that only means it was not done right. I think instead of sanding down the wire loop, there is an option to replace the wire loop with a resistor with higher value.
