Use 2 screws to put it in a fixed position, clear the surface out of the paint under the rezistor and add then some thermal cpu paste. Would help a lot better to dissipate heat

When I attached resistors to the inside of the trunk of a 2009 ford fusion, I put thermal compound underneath to help the heat transfer to the metal car body. Just like when building a computer, where you put that compound under the heat sink for the CPU!

If you replaced the two front turn signal lights… can you install the resistors on the back lights?

No, they have to be wired to the whatever lights you have done.

Hey man just finished watching your video, just had a question. Just trying to wire up my turn signal rears, there Is only two wires coming into the socket blue & black. In your video it said for mazda guys its even easier, would that be my point of tapping?

There is no need to use a drill. I used thermal glue and it works even better because it conducts even more heat and transfers it very efficiently through the chassis of the car.

Is this the same with the front? I just got some switchback LEDs and need to install resistors. I have the same car

I heard from someone that doing the rears, don't need to do the front. In my experience i've always had resistors wired in my front switchbacks, so I wouldn't know

do you need to install them on both the front and the rear??? I just installed only on the rear of my car and my blinks are still fast. Perhaps i need a higher voltage resistor?? idk

You need a resistor at every corner you installed an LED bulb.

Iv made my wing mirrors into led lights indicator like the bmw ones and going to wire up to my wing induction. Iv got the resistors to This should work So when I turn it on just my indicators flash normally and my wing mirrors should light up left to right at normal speed. Iv had to cut the cover then carbon fibre chopped up look

Haha yeah, I mean my car's doing well with the rust, i'm always detailing it so it's very unlikely to get anything. The switchback LED's should really be done for the front end, just so you can see the amber flashing when you're turning, and then just back to a white LED for driving

Dudesk7 yeah dude I think I might switch to the switchback LED’s. Those look a lot better than the amber color.
