Question:

I have a question regarding part #OPT64WR 4 inch led tail light. Do the lights have integrated resistors for turn signals or do I need to buy them separately? Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:

Since the Fusion GloLight Tail Light part # OPT64WR is designed to be a trailer light and not a vehicle light it does not have any resistors integrated into it. Trailer wiring does not require this because the signal comes from the vehicle wiring which already has the flasher unit functioning. If the light was to be installed on a vehicle in place of a blinker circuit a resistor would be needed or a digital flasher installed on the vehicle instead of a thermal unit.

The proper resistor value would be based on the type of light bulb it was replacing which you'd have to google for.
