Question:
Before I tried to install LED brake lights and sense I didnt have a resistor installed when the truck was off a small amount of power was getting to the lights and leaving them dimly lit. Will I have this issue with reverse lights or since there shouldnt be much amperage going to them when the truck is off will the not be dimly lit?

Expert Reply:
You will not need load resistors to install the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL35CB; load resistors are not needed for reverse lights like these.
The only thing you will need are Grommet # A33GB and a 2-wire pigtail, either part # A45CB or the right-angle pigtail, part # A49PB.
