Rear turn signal failure

[morrislee]

They dont heat up that much as far as I know

What ones do you have? Happen to have a link?

[morrislee]

I bought some pretty generic ones, they are practically the same as the one the came with my rear signal light kit

They are metal, they will dissipate heat better than any other ones. no problems so far.

Do you have yours mounted at all or just hanging out?

Ones im my rear lights just dangles, ones for my front signals are ziptie tight to the original wire run. Working for a few months now.

I know this topic is old, but I had a quick question. I got my rear LED turn signals installed tonight, but I noticed that the resistors actually get hot pretty quickly. Is it an issue having them zip tied to the harness? I don't want to melt any wiring.

I would not mount them to the wiring. Mount them with screws or quality double sided tape to a metal surface. If you look the wires on them even come with a higher temp insulation.

Sorry to bring this thread back up but I was stuck with the same issue. I bought the resistors but when I look at the wiring I see 4 wires. 1 black a grayish wire. A dark green and light green wire. Which ones do I need to connect?.

 

Also i was given for 4 resistors but with the look of this setup i only need to use 1 per each side, am i correct?
