If your are doing 2 bulbs you need a 6ohm resister if your doing both front and back (4 bulbs) than its 3 ohm.

6ohm
6 OHM 50W 2 BULB LED LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX

3ohm
3 OHM 50W 4 BULB LED LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX

yap, its confirmed working.
here is the thread i started and has some pics at the end.

I've checked rubber and plastic around that location and so far its been good.(no melting)

If you want reliable operation (that is, without any chance of hyper blinking), you should use a 6 Ohm resistor on EVERY bulb. I tried using only one resistor per side and although it worked for a little while, the hyperflashing eventually started occuring. YMMV, but you're better off doing the job right from the beginning

really?? I do notice my blinker is faster than some cars on the road, but its no where near hyper blinking.

well, every car blinks at a different rate. you have to compare the blink rate to your stock blinkers, not to other cars.

Right, each car only have 2 blinking freq, normal and hyper blinking.
Are you saying the 3 ohms is not as reliable? and they will eventually return to hyperblinking state again?
Mine hasn't hyperblinked at all since i installed the load resistors.
Maybe the connections came lose.

i'm saying you cannot compare your normal blink rate to another car's normal blink rate, as they will always be different. you mentioned that your blinkers are faster than other cars on the road, but not near hyperblinking. so you need to compare your blink rate now to how it was before the LEDs and resistors, not to other cars. i have not used the 3ohms resistors, but i haven't had any issues with my 6 ohms for the last 8 months.

Technically, having two 6ohm resistors would drain the same amount of power as haiving one 3 ohm resistor. What you're doing is creating a load on the terminal to simulate te load of incandescent bulbs. Two 6 ohm resistors in parallel is identical to a 3 ohm assuming the 3 ohm can handle double the power (watt rating).

Has anyone had a problem with resistors? will this void my Warranty

no problem with resistors so far after a year. i doubt the dealer will care about resistors. they probably won't even know unless you take your car in for problems with your lights. if that's the case, just take them off first.

Thank you!

Bumping this one....

Installing LED's on rear turn signals... where do you mount the resistors? There's clearly no room between the tail light assy and the body. Someplace in the trunk?

I epoxy'd them onto the inside of the car body right above the wiring. There is a flat bit of metal there.
