Help with headlights. Please!

So over the weekend I installed switchback led turn signals. I did the driver side first, and had hyper flash. I figured I would so I installed the resistors that came with them and it was fixed. Then I did the passenger side with the resistor. And now it has hyper flash. So I don't know what to do. driver side is fine and passenger side has hyper flash, any suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated.

for troubleshooting purposes you swap the resistors.
If it works then you have one that failed.




you then put the stock ones on until you get a replacement.

lol, yes. I guess I should have finished my sentence.

to troubleshoot, switch resistors. if problem follows certain resistor, that resistor is the culprit.

oh.
so, are you sure you T-tapped the passenger light relay correctly?

this issue isnt as hard as you are making it out to be.
it can only be a few things...
the resistor itself or your install work.
double check both.

well im pretty sure I did it right. there were three wires, a black, white, and red one. I use the red for positive and the black for common negative.
