Need your help with a 2000 Ram 2500. I changed the light to red LED's the one on the top right and left corners do not light up ( I know that LED have polarity). Also when light are on turn signals to not blink (also LED) i'm aware i need resistors for LED just not sure where I would put them and what type unless they are universal. Thanks in advance for any help.

For the turn signals in the taillights and headlights, an LED specific flasher relay is much easier/now reliable option.

Thanks for the reply, I can use this instead of resistors in the LED cluster lights? Seems like its for turn signals brake lights and head light?

Corners on outside of truck.

When you say turn signals dont blink, I'm assuming the outside of the truck as well not just the cluster, right?

Lights in the cluster don't need resistors

both inside and out. the signal stays solid. if i turn cluster light off with the OEM switch then it works fine. Also I discovered that the previous owner had already installed that relay in there. It seems to be the bulbs causing this issue.
