Expert Reply:
If you experience hyper flashing when using a turn signal then you would need to use a load resistor on the turn signal circuit. You would just need one per affected circuit. The brake lights, running lights, and backup lights do not need load resistors like # DI34ZR the vast majority of the time. Just the turn signals.
