Resistors for Turn Signal

[Abe879]

Hello everyone, I’ve installed new led taillights on my 2014 silverado. I’m using 50w 3ohm resistors; one for each taillight. However, every few months I end up needing to replace them because they overheat and burn out. Just wondering if anyone would know of a higher quality resistor that I could use.

I put LED bulbs in my tails and front turn signals but kept getting a bulb out warning. Where are you putting the resistor to prevent that? Sorry, I’m not a wiring guy?

Contact Phil Gamboa (pgamboa) and buy one of his plug-n-play harnesses to correct this problem.

I didn’t change the bulbs I installed the 2016 oem led taillights that usually come on the Ltz and high country trim levels.

Ok.  My advice is the same....the lights are still LED.  I have the same lights on my truck.  Contact Phil.

Look at VLEDS resistors. I’ve been using them in my front and rear signals with no problems. They mount with 3M high heat adhesive double sided tape and barely get warm to the touch.
