load resistor question

DIGItonium

If you want to be safe, get a splice and some extra wires. That way you can relocate the resistor to a safe spot. It will get pretty warm. You'll need at least a 5 watt resistor. Some of them have holes for screw attachments so you can mount it on a piece of metal.

Yes I already extended them and they are 50w 6 ohm and they do get warm but I still have fast blink
I think I probably have a buddy to look at those diagrams and call it a day cuz I'm stuck here I also start to think that those res need to go somewhere totally else other then the lights, somewhere before the front turnsignal and the side marker splice and go to there locations, somewhere closer to the bcm or ipdm at least for the fronts cuz what prevents the side markers from fast blink unless I have to pop those out too and then have to run 6 res rather than 4

The "AXX" numbers in the "ovals" (eg, E55) are the connector identifier. The numbers on each side of the lamps are the pin numbers. Once you know the conector and pin info, go to the pinouts and it will tell you where the pins are physically located in the connector and the wire color.

Modifying the wiring on a computer-controlled car without knowing what you are doing is a VERY bad idea - you run the risk of burning out the BCM ($$$).

The blinking should go back to normal immediately - assuming you installed the proper resistor correctly. If you install the RR resistor first, that light should then blink normally but the rest will still blink fast.

Edit: You may have to do the front and rear on one side for the blinking to return to normal.

You will need one resistor for each of the rear lights and one resistor for each set of front lights. Total of four resistors.

u guys probably wont believe it but i finally found out how to find my way to the colors but i was looking at the wrong stuff the whole time
but now to read those color shortcuts is like a guessing game and i cant find an explanation for them anywhere
and the other thing is for examample according to wiring diagram i need connector E58 fr combination lamp LH and then wire 4 and 6 now the connector belongs to the engine room harness and it says wire 4 color is B/W and wire 6 is GR which i think is green but now it comes mine is actually green black so whats up with that
also for the rest of the wires it says
3= B ? black? brown?
5= P ? purple maybe? but if so, that connector doesnt have a purple wire
7= LG ? light green or grey
8= BG what?

edit: i may have looked at the wrong end i think it also sayed H.S i guess means harness side and then the wires woulactualy work out!
yap figured it out thx to u guys +rep comin ur way @digi @southark! gonna redo everything on the weekend cuz i connected to the wrong wires but luckly i didnt drive the car

BTW, there is a chart of color code abbreviations in one of the first sections of the FSM. Yep, some of them aren't exactly obvious.

K got it all done now and the funny thing was whatever I did on the fronts was still right it was a different connector ->not engine room harness side but the HL harness
So what happend was as soon as I figured out the pins and color for the rear I went ahead and hooked up a rear left light and after the complete left side blinked normal and then the same happened with the other side so I didn't have to change anything on the front!
It was like u said southark I needed to hook up one complete side for it to go back to normal

i just installed both front & rear LED turn signals

FYI: if you swap all four sides (front L,R & rear L,R), then you need four resistors. i used four 50w 6ohm resistors. i tried two resistors at the back with all four LEDs but hyperflash continued. rears are straight forward, only two wires... but the front, at least for 2014, you need to install the resistor on the two wires with stripes, not the solid black one.
