LED Bulb Install Need Resisitor
Swapped out some burned out bulbs on my truck to LED. They are nice and bright but now my flashers are hyperflashing. from what I've read I now need a resistor to stop this. It also says I need one for every bulb on the circuit.
is there any way around installing one on each?

Re: LED Bulb Install Need Resisitor
It depends upon which flasher is installed. Older models with plug-in flashers could use a "heavy duty" flasher to eliminate the need for a load. many newer models have the flash incorporated into the BCM and/or lighting circuit, and that eliminates the option of simply plugging ing a different flasher unit.

On a different type of resistor you can just clip a wire.
