load resistors

[custard]

right fitted led bulbs to the cinqs rear clusters but the indicators are flashing too rapidly.got a pair of load resistors but these are having no effect
there fitted to the indicators + feed but while im typing it occurred to me i should maybe have put it into the -? or have i got duff resistors?

Might not be correct power rating or resistance maybe?

Polarity isnt an issue, its not a polarised component.

ah got them on ebay but on another auction i found instructions

Using included splice taps, connect one wire to ground and the other wire to the turn/brake wire. You do not have to cut your wires. Squeeze splice taps with pliers.

so there you go

I think you may get an extra 25BHP out of those resistors

lol these ones are for style

Ah so when you fitted them did they put up a fight [resistance]

Right I've got these off C for the yellow lights, but I'm thinking wtf how do these get wired in?
Pic included, I'm just thinking i may need more of that plastic clip jobbie on the end?

Actually I think I've figured it out now , just going to either solder or use choccieblocks though I think! Don't think it matters which way round they go either.

Doesn't matter which way round resistors are fitted. Connect between the feed to the lamp and a good earth. The technical phrase is 'in parallel" and they are effectively taking (wasting!) current that would have gone into the incandescent lamp now that you have LEDs that don't take much current. If the LED clusters are on for a while the resistors could get warm/hot so watch where they are placed but they shouldn't get hotter than a lamp would have.
