Review on 🔌 Resistor Solutions for LED Turn Signals & License Plate Lights: 50W 6Ohm LEDs (Fix Hyper Flash & Warning Cancellations) by Brian Cruz

Replacing standard incandescent bulbs with LEDs is very popular due to the superior brightness and durability of LEDs. The problem with many older cars is that the turn signal needs to see a certain current draw in order to flash properly. LEDs draw very little current, so turn signals may not work. The solution is to retrofit the indicator with electronics that work with LEDs, but this is not always enough. In my case, a 1987 S-10, the turn signal didn't work with LEDs, and replacing the turn signal wasn't easy. In that case, you can install these "terminator" resistors between the turn signal wire and ground. Resistors increase the current drawn by turn signals when using LEDs, and a standard turn signal can work as intended. Installation is fairly easy and the resistors come with crimped lugs, so in theory you don't have to cut any wires. A simple solution. Please note that they are only needed for turn signals, not for navigation lights. I put them on the front turn signals because they were easier to reach.
