To run the switchback turn signals will I need to have 2 separate load resistors, one for turn signal and another for parking lamp?

So would I splice into the turn signal wire on the parking lamp wire?

no splice it between the ground and the turn signal wire, parking lights require nothing

yes bolt it to metal, the resistors get pretty warm, and soldering it in place is the best way to do any electrical connection :favorites13:
