v-led switchbacks

so i just installed my resistors on my switch backs today, one works fine , but i was wondering if you can install them backwards, as one of my switchbacks when i put the signal on the white stays on dimmly when the other side doesnt

could i have tapped into the wrong ground wire or installed the resistor backwards, or is it just the switchback itsself?

anyone else have this problem?

the one side works fine so i dont get it?

You have the resistor backwards on the one side. Switch the wires coming from the resistor on the bulb wiring and it should work. Black is ground. Blue is the turn on the right signal and i believe the left is yellow. Haven't had mine apart in a while.

splice one end of the resistor to the black (ground wire of the headlight harness) than splice the other end to the turnsignal wire which is blue

Swap the bulbs from right to left, see if the problem follows the bulb, if it does, the bulb is at fault, if it doesn't, the wiring is at fault.
