Switchback with resistors
I tried searching for a DIY but was unsuccessful, anyone can explain to me how i would add the resistors, which wires from the resistor do i clip on to the wire harness on the car?

Just spice the resisters into the ground and turn signal wires. Use a wire tester to figure out which is which

have any of you 4Ger's tried replacing the resistor in the relay so as not to add load resistors in the engine bay? Way cleaner/safer.

Ok so I did this and get parking lights work but the the blinkers don’t. Any time I put on the blinkers it blows out the fuse. I connected the resistor and followed every step but I’m still having the problem. The Switchbacks are purchased are these below.

You sure you did the right wires and got a good connection? Those little clips can suck. I got these ones below and they've worked great for about a year now.

I didn't trust the t-taps that came with the resistors so I did a manual splice instead. Have you tried stripping the wires and connecting them together by hand?

I don't think you need the CK ones. Standard 3157 sockets should be fine. I was also deciding between the bulbs you've purchased and these: iBrightstar Newest Super Bright 3157 4157 3155 3457 Switchback LED Bulbs with Projector Replacement for Daytime Running Lights / DRL and Turn Signal Lights,White/Amber https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
