The Diamond LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit # DI34ZR wires in parallel with each trailer lighting circuit. For a trailer with LED lighting (that does not present the same electrical load as an incandescent type bulb) you will wire one resistor inline with each circuit, so for a typical 4-pole installation you'll need three, for left turn/stop, right turn/stop and running light circuits. The kit includes quick-splice connectors.

You could try adding a resistor to just the brake light circuit before the converter like you mentioned. This may provide enough resistance to prevent that hyper-flashing but I can't be certain. Please let me know what you find and I'm going to keep looking into this for other possible solutions if it doesn't work.

Ive installed load resistors on brake/turn circuits2 after the converter 5 to 4 wire and hyper flashing has stopped when turns are on but when I apply brake they hyper flash. Should I install another resistor before the converter for the brake only? Weird
