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.
