Trying to find previous threads or info on how to add resistance to circuits after LED bulb installation. (search function not helping...)
Having issues with turn signals after changing to all LED bulbs. TIA. |

If your issue is hyper-flashing, and your question is how to wire them in, you'll want to splice in the resistor in parallel across the wires going to the bulb to increase the current draw the flasher sees.
If you prefer not to hack into the wiring and want to keep the current draw low (which is a good benefit of going LED in the first place) you could do what I did and go with an electronic flasher. Spokeworks sells one (Novita EP26) already modified to work in the 914, or you can buy and modify the flasher yourself according to his tech article https://www.spokeworksled.com/ep26-mod-single-indicator |

The additional resistor in parallel reduces the resistance & increases the load (i.e. more current flow). However, I would go with the Spokeworks rig. |
