I'm putting on my resistors to stop the hyper blinking. Is it the yellow wire or the gray one that does the blinking??

i just did mine and its the black wire (ground) and the middle wire. mine were brown on the ds and green on the ps.

not to threadjack but im still having a problem. i used 6 ohm resistors like a few ppl have said to use and my lights still act up. they'll be blinking fine then for a few seconds go hyper blink, then back to normal for a few seconds, then back to hyper. any ideas?

so today i redid my wiring. i cut out those quick splice things and used crimp disconnects. the passenger side seems to be working fine but the drivers side is still being stupid. i switched the wires around and also tried a different resistor and it still does it. it blinks fine for a minute or so but once it warms up i guess it starts to blink fast. someone help!

Mine works just fine using 2 6 ohm resistors. On the drivers side i quick spliced into yellow and black. On the passenger side i spliced into teal and black.

The hyper blinking doesn't stop on either tail light until one resistor is wired into the passenger side and one resistor is wired into the driver side.

The v-led site says it may take a minute for resistor to work but they worked instantly for me.

ok so ive been reading that when you turn your stock brake/turn signal light to led when you put you turn signal on its wicked fast does it still look like its flashing or does it need a resistior to slow down the blinking and if you need the resistors do you have to put them on the side markers as well?

The side markers dont blink. Only the parking light and tail light. So you only need one resistior per headlight/tail light. 4 total if you want to do front and back.
