HyperFlash Fix

I am not one for electrical or wiring for that matter. I just purchased some new Philips LED rear turn signal bulbs and they are causing me to HyperFlash. From what I have read all I need to do is get some 50W 6Ohm Load Resistors and take a T-tap off the positive wire and another T-tap on the Negative? Is it really that simple or am I missing something?

Thanks for the DIY. Found that after doing some further digging! Will be giving that route a try.

Thanks again

I've always thought that seemed harder than just throwing a resistor in

i did not


Yes, you can just put them in the back because they're wired in series to the front turn signal. but honestly the much better way to do it is to do the signal relay mod. cleaner
