Question:
I just ordered some STL53RCB and MCL50AB LED trailer lights. Am I going to need resistors to let them work normally with my automotive blinker? Im mountin them in a Jeep Wrangler not a normal trailer. If I do need them, please let me know What part number I will need. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Yes, you will need a load resistor for each LED bulb you install on a turn signal circuit. I checked your order and it looks like you bought a total of 4 LED lights, because of that I would recommend you get two sets of LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors # DI34ZR.
I attached installation instructions and a couple pictures for this product that shows how it installs.
