Review on Zento Deals 8 Pieces of 6 Ohm 50W Load Resistors – Eliminate Flickering LED Turn Signal Lights, License Plate Lights, and DRL by Brad Ward

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as expected. 2009 WRX Premium

This helps eliminate the hyper firmware. but they get quite hot especially when you use them in combination with tail light and turn signals. I ran 2 of these in parallel just for the parking lights and they were still way too warm for my liking, I really didn't want to risk setting my car on fire. Also, you're still using the same if not MORE power to drive LEDs with resistors. I took them off and spent the extra money on a rotary relay. Don't skimp on the relay, buy a Diode Dynamics SmartTap, or better yet, buy the original TapTurn, support the creator of the original! I've heard that the original TapTurn works better and has more features, but I have yet to learn. I did a bit of digging to find TapTurn, but SmartTap is on Prime. $60 is a small price to pay to get it right. Most Subaru vehicles will require a cf18 type relay, but do your research first.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
