Question:

I have a 09 bmw x5 i replaced the old 1156 with led and now i have hyper flashing i wanted to know if the resistors would work, my bulbs are in the plastic twist on in to the taillight assembly so how would the resistors be wired on to the bulb socket to make it work,i seen on some websites maybe replacing the flasher might work but im not sure please let me know thanks.

The Diamond LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors # DI34ZR are designed to fix the hyperflashing you are experiencing though they do need to be installed on the circuits of the affected lights. You are going to need to determine if those circuits are accessible in your 2009 BMW X5 to allow the resistors to work like in the diagram I've attached.
