Question:

Does the ARC 93FR require an additional resistor to keep it from flashing too fast? I am towing a 1985 16ft Fiber Stream trailer, with a 2004 Honda Element.

If you are putting installing the 1157 LED Bulbs - 360 Degree - Double Contact Bayonet - 600 Lumens - White - Qty 2, part # ARC93FR, on your trailer, you will not need to add a resistor. Unfortunately, these bulbs are not compatible with your 2004 Honda Element.

I do not think you will need a resistor when you add LEDs to your vehicle. I recommend the 921 LED Bulbs - 360 Degree - Wedge Base - 600 Lumens - White - Qty 2, part # ARC48FR. These bulbs are comparable to the bulbs you attached to your question and they are compatible with your vehicle. In the event you will need resistors, I recommend the Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals - 50 Watts - 6 Ohm - Qty 2, part # DI34ZR.

I have included product description links and video demo links below.
