Switchback turn signal?

Hey guys, I have an '07 TLS and just got my switchback turn signals in. My only question is which resistors I need for them? Also, where and how to install them. Thanks for any help u can provide!

You only need to instal in the rear on each side (1 resistor per side), or front.. BUT only one end.. it's easier to instal in the rear, but some have done it in the front..hope this help GL

I went with the same ones that Fulani recommended... They're 4 Ohm 100W Non-Inductive Dummy Load Resistors, I know they're overkill, but overkill never hurt anyone, when it comes to resistors! Besides, they're only a few bucks more...

since u installed the front blinkers and the resistor, does that mean u need to switch the back bulbs to leds too? orelse won't it blink slower?

Installs done, took a while for me to get time to do it... Went very smooth. The only difference that I did, was instead of using t-taps, I soldered. I know that when using t-taps u can often have problems later on down the line. Easy, inexpensive, and definitley worth it!

Nope, the resistors don't slow down the OEM bulb, just LEDs.
