I got a set of switchback LED's for Christmas and they came with resistors to knock out the hyper blink when the turn signal is on. I installed the bulbs, but I can't find any information on how to connect the resistor. Can anybody tell me if I have to mount them in parallel over the ground and positive wires, or does it go in series on the positive wire?

Wire the resistor in parallel with the outside 2 wires. That's how it is 05-09.

Yup what frank said

Damn, I've only got parts to wire them in series. Looks like I'm going to have to pick up some new connectors tomorrow.

Yea I just used quick splices into the wires like frank said and my resistors have been working well for 1.5 years

That's what I just did. I'm surprised at how hot the resistors get when the turn signal is on. Luckily I read that before the install and mounted them away from any wires.
