Headlights...Round 2

Nice, you're more brave than me when it comes to heating up and disassembling the headlights. I'm terrible at painting and drilling nice holes for LEDs. No room for mistakes.

Ya true after the 3rd time doin it I get more and more comfortable and it was actually smooth sailing that's why I'm even more frustrated that I can't for the heck of it figure out where to solder my resistors onto to get rid of this stupid ricer fast blink
I feel like ppl look at the lights first and go ohhh daym but then see see the fast blink and be like "but that fast blink looks shitty "

LOL I'm used to the fast blink because I can hear the sound a bit more easier. I hate driving around and forgetting the blinkers are still active. Trust me, I hated hyper flash, too. It's just not as annoying with the LED bulbs.

It's not that hard if you get a cheap multimeter and test the wires. There's only 2 or 3 you need to look at. One is ground, and the other supplies 12V whenever the blinker is active. The DRL wire is the one that's always 12V when the car is running. So for all the bulb sockets, wire one end of the resistor to the ground wire and the other end to the signal wire, and it should work.

Here's a drawing someone did:
