This load resistor prevents the LED turn signal light on your truck or trailer from hyperflashing. Resistor has right-angle male PL-3 plug on one end and female PL-3 plug on the other end.

Specs:
Note: One resistor is required per LED light.
Hyperflashing (or rapid blinking) of turn signals can occur when you switch from incandescent lights to LED lights. LEDs draw less power than incandescent bulbs, which often causes your vehicle to think that the bulb is burned out or about to burn out. And this is what leads to hyperflashing. This load resistor prevents the LED turn signal light on your truck or trailer from hyperflashing by mimicking the power draw of an incandescent light.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics Load Resistor with Male and Female Plugs for LED Lights. LED lights are great. They're going to be brighter than incandescent bulbs, they last longer, and use less energy. But when you upgrade to an LED light there can be some issues. We may get an error message on our dash saying that we have a bulb out or we can get a hyperflash where the blinker will go extremely fast. While we can still see it's clearly turning on and our turn signal is working, that clicking on the inside of the cab can drive you crazy.
The reason why it's going to hyperflash is because our LEDs have a very low draw on them and the vehicle's looking for a certain amount. So right now the vehicle thinks that our turn signal is out and it hyperflashes to let us know. Well, that's where our resistors is going to come in and help. It's going to add just enough on a load to where it will fix the hyperflashing and the light will work properly.Our resistors are designed to work with 12 Volt systems and they're 50 Watts, 6 Ohms resistors, which is going to great for any LED's that you put on your turn signals or your brake lights. On the one end we'll have a female PL-3 plug.
This is going to plug into the plug coming for the light. Then on the other end we're going to have a right angle male PL-3 plug and this is going to plug directly into the light. So, it's really nice because we're not going to have to cut or splice anything. It's already prewired for us and we just plug it inline behind out light.Keep in mind whenever you're using the resistors, say we have them wired into our turn signals, this part of it is going to get very hot. We want to make sure we mount this to a metal surface and there two tabs here that are going to help us, when you use some self-tapping screws and secure it down.
The total length here is going to be just over 10-1/4" so, we should have plenty of room to get it plugged in and be able to mount it up to a metal surface.So, the way we're going to hook up our resistors, we'll find the light that we want to plug it into. We'll disconnect the plug. We're going to take the female end, we'll plug our light into it and we'll take the male end of our resistor and we're going to plug it directly into the light. Now we can go ahead and test our circuit and make sure that our resistor's working properly. With our resistor installed you can see that our turn signal is working properly and it cured the hyperflashing.One thing to keep in mind is our resistors do come in a quantity of one and you will need one resistor per LED bulb.
So, make sure to order the right amount. That will finish up your look at the Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights.

This load resistor prevents the LED turn signal light on your truck or trailer from hyperflashing. Resistor has right-angle male PL-3 plug on one end and female PL-3 plug on the other end.The resistors worked great and will recommend them to everybody. Awesome customer service from a lady name Sheila. Thanks for the quick delivery ! 652813
Excellent product instant cure for the hyperflash tail lights just a heads up you need 2 per side on gm products 343864
Wotks perfectly. Simply amazing. Easy to install. Just plug and play. Doen't show any faults of light control module /LCM/ of my truck 2006 VOLVO VNL430. No rapidly flashers. Exactly how seller explain. Drivers, safe you a lot of money and time at any Volvo dealers to reprogran LCM to works with LED stop, tail and turn lights. If i know that this resistor kit can works with my reverse back white light too /the principle i think is the same/ i can by one more resistor kit for reverse light to complete the back looking style of my truck. One more time big thank you. Strongly recommended to everyone. Fast shipping and delievery too. 458916
This is a great product that makes fixing hyperflash on your flatbed trucks turn signals super easy. The product arrived on time and in good condition. I highly recommend buying this product from etrailer.com if you have LED tail lights and need to fix the quick blinking. 781983
Very easy to use and hook up. 699886
Product is exactly as listed. 607734
Works great thanks!! 604096
Nice product and works well. The shipping was fast and the price was good. Thank you . 450021
Item was as described and arrived when it was scheduled to. LED trailer lights worked correctly after installing resistor pack. Having plugs on both ends of the pack made it simple too install. 442856
Product worked perfectly and was very easy to install with the plugs on either end. Etrailer did a great job communicating about the delivery. Only problem keeping me from 5 stars was a delayed delivery from the mfg in China to Etrailer. 367855
