    Hey I put in LED directionals in the front before I deployed and they were blinking like a light was out even though it wasnt. Then I deployed so my dad tried fixing it with a heavy duty directional box and it still is blinking fast any ideas on how to fix it?

    in short you need a load resistor, to trick the relay into thinking that everything is normal.

    ok that makes a little more sense. Also do you know what size the 08 fog lights are i googled it and can only get the bulb size. I need to know the housing size because my HID's in my fogs melted the housings

    so if you just did the front turn signals you need 2 6 ohm resistors if your tails are LED as well, then you need a pair of 3 ohm resistors

    Connection Instructions:
    Using the included splice taps, connect one wire to ground and the other wire to the turn signal wire. You do not have to cut your car's wires. Squeeze splice taps with pliers. One Load Resistor required for each turn signal bulb. No instructions are include with these kits.
