LED Turn Signal Resistor Kit Installation

[@sirwhitecrayon2499]

Don't want to melt the factory wiring.... so lets mount it with sticky tape that will melt. Brilliant idea!

[@cedude69]

That double sided tape is gonna melt lol

[@fylzero]

Jumped to the comments to see if anyone mentioned this and if there was a rebuttal... first comment... no response. Prolly a bad idea.

[@XVIIsionsProductions]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻😎

[@FoxRacingGaming]

Surely you read the part about how the resistors get really really hot , so good luck with the double sided tape. They put screw holes for a reason.

[@boostedgreygoosedesigns3006]

Hey guys, (CJPony Parts) great video, however, the wires you are tapping into are not completely correct. The ground is, however the blue with grey tracer is actually the park light circuit. The correct wire for the turn on that side is green wire with orange tracer. Hope this helps anyone doing this install. Be sure to mount these resistors to bare metal....

[@Querencias7]

Thanks for the tutorial. For the rear resistors (might have been useful to mention they're 6 ohm), it is better IMO, to install them on a metallic surface with at least one of the two screw holes, not with double sided tape. And to close the video, it would have been nice - as someone else has already mentioned - to show the LED lights working sans hyper flashing.

[@j.v.5137]

Thanks for the video. However, to reiterate what others have mentioned, it is much better to secure the resistor body by screwing it metal-to-metal (for greater heat dissipation) than using two-sided tape shown at 3:43, even better if both ears are screwed to a metal surface.

[@rock44260]

It would have been nice to see the views of the blinkers working after the install.

[@HoustonRocket281]

Rock44260 you did see a lil the mirror turn signal was flashing normal speeds but yeah would of been nice to see the whole rear and front

[@marvelousmajor4448]

man those resistors really needed to be mounted to something metal as they get very hot and will easily melt through any plastic parts I modified mine to get more length on those resistor wires and used self tapping screws to mount them to the back side of the crash bar well away from plastic parts

[@MrPacMan36]

Marvelle Washington THIS^ Thank you!

[@James-xo4uv]

What about changing the flasher ,instead of putting load resistors on cheap scotch locks

[@172389]

Fantastic video, thanks for putting it together! All the other videos on youtube gloss over the actual work, and show everything already done. Your camera angles are fantastic, I can clearly see what to do. Great background music too!

[@AZDESERT2024]

Use self tapping screws to mount. The equalizer is a heat sink and will get very hot. Do Not use tape, it will melt.

[@sethcalk6196]

I mount the load resistors in the metal of the truck with Resistors Plug n Play

[@maverickslayervids9749]

Thanks for the music I was rocking out

[@sergiocerda8779]

My passenger side has yellow w/brown(outside) blue (middle) black w/yellow (outside).... what 2 do I connect the resistor

[@jefrey5578]

If you only do this with the rear(replacing with LED's and adding resistor) Can you have regular incandescent bulbs in the front or do you need to do leds on all signal lights?

[@recheveste31]

in all LED bulbs

[@stock__5.063]

Can I use this for with my 2018 mustang fog light removed so it doesn’t hyperflash ?

[@brooklynmonster730]

Cant you just go in with forscan and change the setting

[@RogerJG21]

the rear blinkers has 3 wire I know one is ground the other blinker and brake when I tested it with my test light 2 of the wires both blinked does it matter what one I use from the 2 as the positive?

[@dustinmiller5346]

Does the double sided tape need to be anything special to deal with the heat

[@asadanimal]

The resistance heats up, because you fix it with that glue, could it melt it? Another query, the resistance goes in the section of the lighthouse where water can fall behind, something will happen with the resistance if it drops water or is water resistant?

[@cynthiacynthia8395]

I have 2 questions... was wondering if someone could give me hand? I need to install these resistors for my back lights: Turning signals and brake lights. Reading some of the comments, I noticed that it seems a bad idea to use double side type to hold the resistor in place. 1st question: Do they get hot? Is this normal? 2nd question: In my car, there is room to place one of this resistor, thus it is going to be very tight. Some of the original wires will be against the resistor. Does this resistors get so hot that could melt the original wires jacket/insolation? Any advise? Thank you.

[@0509Taino]

Hey Bud, also trying to Do this on my Accord. Answer: from what I’ve seen on videos, resistors can reach up to 115-200 degrees So try to install on metal away from any Plastics, cables, rugs etc Good luck

[@fikeypoo7480]

Is it standard for Ford to use a blue wire for the power and a black with yellow striped wire for the ground? My Ford Fiesta has the same color scheme in the turn signal wires and I'm nervous about jumping into it without testing the current in each wire.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Ford is not always consistent with their wiring colors. Black with a stripe is a common ground color though.

[@fikeypoo7480]

+Bill Tumas Thanks for the reply I appreciate the info!

[@ruudwilschut9095]

Why using four 50w resistors who draws a total of 200 watts to replace four 21w incandescent bulbs who are drawing 84 watts total? Should four 25w resistors for each bulb or one 50w resistor for each side (front and rear) not be sufficient? If I'm not mistaken, each side is one circuit so one resistor of 50w for each side should be enough to prevent hyperflash.

[@jakemason9436]

the Resistors Wattage Rating is defined as the amount of heat that a resistive element can dissipate for an indefinite period of time without degrading its performance. So up to 50 watts. Not operating at 50 watts. 6 Ohms is the resistance.

[@RogerJG21]

question I replaced front and rear blinkers and brake lights on my 2011 FORD Escape with new LED's and I added LED Decoder Adapter Anti Hyper Blink Flash Error Cancel Canbus Brake 12V, just the back light, turned the blinkers one it was blinking normal, but as soon as I turned the lights on it started blinking fast again, any ideas how I can fix this

[@javierdiaz2904]

im having the same problem on my 95 tahoe since its an older truck if i did the same and put in resistors would it work? i just put in all new led lights

[@cjponyparts]

Probably yes.

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

This was very helpful, and the close-up the video was excellent. However, I do wish I could watch and listen without the same old 'monkey-see-monkey-do' rock music. It just seems out of place when all you're doing is taking apart a head light.

[@stankatz01]

Btw from my earlier comment, the installer has given out the wrong color code. It is NOT the blue wire you need to tap, he has the ground correct but you need to grab the other wire. Nearly burned up my wiring.

[@victorwynn8876]

HELPPPP!!!! CHEVY MALIBU 2017 - I bought 7443 Switchback lights I plugged the LED lights in but now my car is saying check front and left turn signals. It is giving me rapid flashback feed in which I need resistors plugged up to it. I have the resistors but what cords do I need to connect it too in my car? There are 4 colors fro my switchback which are PURPLE, BLUE & WITE and 2 BLACK CORDS. How do I know which 2 cords I need to connect the resistors too? Thanks, Victor

[@ThatOneYokel]

Can you do a demonstration on a 2017 Silverado??

[@Hoonigan.Raptor]

i have a 2015 f150 and followed this, the interior light on the cluster hyper flashes still but the lights dont?? any help

[@3I6P4P1]

Do you need these for a mustang 2009

[@Rumeel12708]

Ive heard that one can just buy the upgraded relay or flasher that is for LEDs and theres no need for resistors???

[@yoyohooyo]

yep they are available on Amazon

[@Italiangoombah]

Ya this is stupid and a huge waste of time and shows a big lack of knowledge. Heavy Duty Flasher Relay.. Done.. idiots

[@seangowan7441]

Will they prevent parasitic draw from leds?

[@solomoncapassisit7235]

I’ve tried with the resistor but still have hyper flashing did what he did so could it be the bulb itself?

[@superjoint57]

I checked all the wires & installed the resistor. I made sure the brake light, tail light & turn signal worked...and it did (all in the same bulb). Then I installed the LED bulb. Only the brake light & turn signal worked. I flipped the bulb around and the only the parking light would work. Hmmm? Any ideas/suggestion? Thanks!

[@rjwdaletube]

Perfect instruction, but the music was too overbearing.

[@joeh690]

Those resistors get extremely hot 400f + double-sided sticky tape is not going to hold that on. I even used quick setting automotive glue yep it came off to.

[@sarp9099]

I did the same but mine didn't work. I am sure the wiring I made has no mistake. When I first start the car, there is error code and when I blink the signals, the first 3 blink is fast (hyperflash) then it blinks normal. After using both signals, the error code is gone. Turning the engine off and starting again, the whole process repeats. How can I solve it?

[@stankatz01]

Are you sure about the color code, I did it just as you did and got no results . The dash lights are still flashing like crazy? Thanks

[@Kjpierre16]

For a 2014 Chevy Cruze... Im trying to figure out the front and rear turn signal wiring.. Which is the ground.. And the blinker wire? Front is blinker wires are brown and violet? Anybody know?

[@sarswim6]

Don't know if you figured this out yet, but grab a multi-meter, set to VDC (volts dc), connect black lead to any ground (battery - terminal, chassis), turn on blinker, and probe pins of signal connector with red lead. The pin that pulses voltage is your blinker power wire.

[@brucefoley1658]

I put resistors on mine they work on the outside but the inside still flashes fast can you help with this?

[@cjponyparts]

Feel the resistor while the light is flashing fast. If the resistor is not getting hot then it's improperly installed or its defective. It should get hot pretty quick.
