Load resistors not working on turn signal LEDs
Just bought some LED's for my rear turn signals, and the load resistors that I spliced together with the wires aren't slowing down the hyper flashing. Just as a note: I spliced both wires that go into the socket with a load resistor so I don't know if that's the problem.
Would it just be easier to get an LED flasher? Also if someone has a video on how to install one on this specific model, it would be greatly appreciated, I don't do well with exploded diagrams.

Make sure you wired it up correctly. I'm using LED turn signals on all corners, with fronts using load resistors and they've worked well for three years counting.
Beyond that, I recommend purchasing load-resistors that are pre-wired for the bulb so you don't have to modify anything the the OEM wiring. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KZ9AXVQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_np-rBbJA5K906
There are also LED's that are sold now with built-in resistors so you don't need external ones. However they only work when either the front or the rear signals are regular/loaded-resisted.

First post here since acquiring an 06 LS on wednesday, so take this with a grain of salt as i havent checked the EWD of this yet.....but ive used this on my 4runner and LX with great results.....and seemingly simpler for me at least
