Are Load Resistors Only Required on Turn Signal Circuits to Fix Hyper Flashing from LED Lamps
Updated 07/11/2020 | Published 07/09/2020
Question:
I have a 1994 chevy Silverado. I have installed LED replacement bulbs with my tail, brake, turn signal, parking, running lights etc. The turn signals have hyper flash so to fix it I will use a LED compatible flasher. With the other non flashing lights brake, reverse, marker, etc will i need to install a load resistor or will they work out okay?

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the turn signal circuits are the only ones affected by the hyperflashing, so you won't need a load resistor on the running light, brake or reverse circuits.
I've linked to an installation video for a different load resistor than the # DI34ZR you'd looked at.
