I want to get the V6 Triton Extreme switchbacks for my turn signals, but given past experience (parking light out) with other switchbacks before I just avoided it. I understand AlfaOBD can only do so much, so VLEDS offers resistors for them without the need for splicing (in certain cases).

Is this resistor enough to prevent such error?

I've placed an order for them today and I will provide an update if the said resistor included with the switchback turn signals does the job.

When I installed my switchbacks, only way I could get rid of the error without adding resistors was to set my turn signal as the drl. Since, I've had no issues, and no resistors.

The Triton V6 Turn Signals work fine. Needed to turn on LED Front Parking lights and LED Front Turn Signals with AlfaOBD. The resistor also helps keeps it from hyperflashing but the truck is still giving me a "parking light out" message. It seems that my truck does not like switchbacks at all!

Have you set the front turn signals as the drl like I said?

Yes I did. Really like the white DRL with an adapter that VLEDS provided. The issue happens when it gets dark and the headlights come on.
