Which wires do I splice into with the resistor? I have 2 white with green (outside wire and middle) and a black (outside wire) these LEDs have given me so many problems Im abou to scrap them altogether!

That's for my rears.. Green/white for both wires.. The front has a green/white and a blue/white, need to put resistors in both

Quick update.. Figured out which wires were which, wired in the 6ohm 50watt resistors and still have hyper flash? I must have wired them wrong I guess

Did you do the right wires? The resistor needs to attach to the ground of the light, and then the positive wire of the turn signal. From a post a while back, I believe Blackout11 said the wires would be the outside ones.

First off you only need to do the rears and if the plug is in your hand youll want to tap into the 2 out side wires leaving the middle wire alone the resistor is just a loop so try that and that should fix your prob

I found out with my tails, you have to push them in all the way or you get hyper flash and light out issues

So put them in on my taillights.. As soon as I hooked up the resistor it shorts the bulb and it goes out.. Take the resistor off, light works... Tried 3 different resistors and all the same thing.. Didn't even bother trying the front switchbacks, just too frustrated... So back to v-LEDs everything goes tomorrow along with a phone call and email to let them know how completely disappointed with their service and products I am?. But thanks to you guys for all your help
