Features:
- Prevents the LED turn signal light on your truck or trailer from hyperflashing so that it functions properly
- Right-angle male PL-3 plug connects to light
- Female PL-3 plug connects to truck or trailer
- Mounts to the surface of the truck or trailer
- Resistor gets very warm - mounting to metal is recommended
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.

Easy install, doesn’t pierce factory wiring. Durable in harsh NW Montana winter conditions mounted on a wrecker body. Zero failure, no corrosion. This product is well worth the price.
by: Dimitar12/10/2017
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.

This worked great
by: Andrew 01/11/2021
Worked great. I bought these for my 2015 Silverado 2500 that we put a Bradford built flatbed on that had LEDs causing the blinker to hyperblink. I put one resistor on each side and it fixed it. I did not need 3 per side even though there is 3 lights on each side of the trailer that blink.
by: LarryP10/15/2017
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.
by: Danny 04/17/2020
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.
by: Oldtortise04/15/2017
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.

- Will the Optronics Load Resister # ALEDRST2B Give Me Turn Signals with My Optronics Tail Lights?For your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, the Optronics Load Resister # ALEDRST2B will solve the issue. However, it is important to note that the # ALEDRST2B comes with a plug-in on the end. If you need the harness that allows you to hardwire it with your vehicle, that is the Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights - Male PL-3 Plug and Pigtail # ALEDRST1B. In order to determine which harness you need, I went ahead and attached videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Load Resistor Adapter for Hyper Flashing LED Lights on Chevy FlatbedThe Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights - Male PL-3 Plug and Female PL-3 Plug # ALEDRST2B will create more of a load draw on your system to stop the hyper flashing. I can't give you an exact number needed as it may only require one for each system function. I'd start with one on each side at your tail lights. This will create the needed power draw on your running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
view full answer... - New LED Lights Causing Hyperflashing On Flat Bed TruckHyperflashing is typically a problem with LED lights being installed on a vehicle that had incandescent bulbs. If that is the case you will need to install load resistors like part # ALEDRST2B on all of the taillights on the flat bed.
view full answer... - Is The Curt 2 To 3 Wire Tail Light Converter Compatable With LEDs.Yes, you will need to install resistors like the Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights - Male PL-3 Plug and Pigtail # ALEDRST1B or the Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights - Male PL-3 Plug and Female PL-3 Plug # ALEDRST2B. The Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196 is not compatible with LED lights and will need resistors.
view full answer... - Will Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights Help Fix Problem with Tekonsha Brake ControllerThe Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights # ALEDRST2B puts a heavier load on the trailer wiring so since your Tekonsha brake controller, like the P3 # 90195, only connects to the trailer via the brake controller output wire the LED lights won't be the cause of any problems with your brake controller. The load resistors help to keep the lights on your tow vehicle or trailer from hyperflashing since LEDs have much less draw than incandescent lights. If you experience hyperflashing then...
view full answer... - What Resistor Should I Choose For My Incandescent Lights On My 2009 Jeep Wrangler?The 25 watt Buyers Products Anti-Flicker Harness for Turn Signals # 3375621012 should be more than plenty, however to really decide between this one and the 50 watt version # ALEDRST2B, you'd need to choose the one that is closest to your incandescent light. So if your light is closer to 25 watts, you'll want # 3375621012, and if it is closer to 50 watts you'll want # ALEDRST2B.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting LED Lights Not Working On TrailerThe first thing I recommend doing is to check that the ground wire for the lights is securely attached to a clean metal surface on the trailer frame. A loose ground wire will keep the lights from working. If the ground attached to the trailer does not give you an adequate ground, you can run the wire up to the ground circuit on the trailer connector. Next, you want to make sure the wiring on the trailer is wired correctly and wired by function, not just by color. I recommend using a...
view full answer... - Solution for Strobing LED Lights on Rebuilt Trailer with VW CaddyWe do have load resistors available such as the # DI34ZR that is designed to fix the hyper flashing/strobing that can occur with LED trailer lights. If the strobing is happening with the trailer signal lights then this is exactly what you need to resolve the issue. It includes 2 load resistors - 1 for each turn signal. We do not have a ready-made resistor box available like what you described. Please let me know if the problem is actually happening on the vehicle side (with just the lights...
view full answer... - How to Correct Flashing LED Trailer Lights Using Load ResistorsHigh-efficiency LED type trailer lighting pulls much lower current than standard incandescent lights and sometimes this can cause odd behavior from the wiring harness when it cannot recognize the connected trailer. There's a simple solution to this issue: installation of a load resistor at each affected LED light. Load resistors mimic the electrical signature of incandescent lights to let the trailer wiring work as intended. If your trailer lights use a PL-3 type connector you can use...
view full answer... - LED Lights Flickering On/Off Trailer ConstantlyTo fix your trailer lights flickering I recommend installing the Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signal # DI34ZR at each affected light. These load resistors copy the electrical signature of incandescent lights to alleviate the flickering you're experiencing. If you need the PL-3 style connector we have # ALEDRST2B for you.

- How to Fix Motorhomes Hyperflashing after Installing LED TaillightsYour motorhome must have a bulb out sensor. Becasue LED's draw so much less power than incandescents, the bulb-out sensor thinks the bulb is out and causes the circuit to hyperflash. You'll need to install a load resistor like # ALEDRST2B on each lamp. The resistor would plug inline between your existing PL3 plug and the lamp for a plug and play installation. This assumes you're using the # STL23RB lamp you referenced. If you're using a different lamp, you'd use the # DI34ZR and wire it...
view full answer... - Availability of 3-Prong Pigtail Plugs with Load ResistorsThe Optronics Round LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL42RB does use a 3-prong plug for electrical connection. We offer right-angle 10-inch pigtail plug # A47PB and straight pigtail plug # A45PB. Neither of these includes a load resistor, which can be required on some wiring systems to mimic the higher electrical resistance of standard incandescent lights. Some turn signals will hyper-flash when used with LED lights because the wiring does not "see" the load from the super-high-efficiency...
view full answer... - Solution for LED Boat Trailer Lights Hyperflashing With 2008 BMW X5You are correct that you should not submerge load resistors such as the Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights # ALEDRST2B you mentioned but there are a couple of solutions that won't require you to switch from LED to incandescent. The first would be if your 2008 BMW X5 has a 7-way; if so you can use the 7-Way to 5-Way/4-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs # TR20141 or Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV...

- Recommended LED Replacement Lights for 2005 Damon Daybreak Motorhome with Load ResistorsThe Sealed, 4" Round, LED Stop/Turn/Tail light, 21 Diode - Red # STL55RB will work great on your motorhome. You will simply need to use the wiring pigtail # A47PB for each light. You will simply need the butt connectors # DW05744-5. On some vehicles, when switching to LED lights, there is a load resistor needed to prevent hyperflashing but this is not always needed. If you do end up needing a load resistor, I recommend LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors # DI34ZR. You can get these already...
