I want to order these but this talk of resistors scares me off. How do I add a resistor and where do I get it? Instructions online?

Hello. Resistors are nothing to be afraid of. I myself was kind or nervous about splicing into my stock wiring. But it's a very simple procedure, and only takes about 15 minutes on each side. You can Google a diagram on proper installation, or simply go onto Youtube for a step by step video on how to do it. That worked best for me. The Resistors themselves will come with instructions, and you can purchase them online or at some local auto part stores. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to email me at ccams81@aol.com for further help. Hope this helps!

These leds work great. They fit into standard socket on my truck. No resistors needed. I use them as daytime running lights. Have been running these for several months with no problems.

You can purchase the resistors at the same time you purchase the lights. Usually they will pop up at the bottom of the screen under " Customers who purchased these often purchased.....". It's easy to install there's only 2 wires and all you have to do if find your "hot" wire and the other. You can find these with a simple test light. Yes there's instructions or you can read the comments of those who purchased them, that's where I confirmed my instructions.

I used no resistors. These are direct replacements for the stock blubs. I dont know what every body else is doing. I put these in where the stock bulbs were at. I have been running these for several months and no problems. I also use leds on my motorcycle. I have never put in any resistors on any on my cars or bike. I am very happy with leds. Make sure you have room for these. They are a little long. The more leds the longer they are. I put these in my running light sockets on my 2004 chev silverado and they fit fine. Hope this answers your question.

I'm not sure, try home depot, and lowes, If they don't have them. Try going to and electrical supply house and if they don't have them they can probably order them.

Yup. Look online for ohm-specific wiring patterns when you do your first setup.

I found this YouTube video showing how they work, once installed. Looks cool! I'm totally getting some of these things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYz0jnla_QI

Yes I needed to install a resistor. But I knew I needed it before purchasing your product.

I honestly don't know... but the resistors are definitely a must, hyper flash otherwise.

I'm planning to use a 9v battery to light up 2 or 3 of these LEDs; I see F. Solano has used a 200ohm resistor to accomplish similar, but Kapowzer claims a 1k resistor? Any advise re: which to use would be appreciated - thank you.

Hi Steve, I would suggest asking another buyer, I just bought spares and have not used it yet. I also found them as cheap as $4.00 when I purchase them. Maybe you could email the company. Good luck and I'm sorry I was no help.............;-o now I'm worried.

Dear Customer,Thank you very much for your inquiry with us!This product is for the halo ring color upgrade. It does come with the resistors to prevent error message from the dash board. This product is strictly to be used for H8 marker bulb/halo ring color upgrade only.Please let me know if I can assist you further on this matter.SincerelyJayiJDMTOY

Hello there, i am scared to order this product because i live in the northern marianas aka 'Guam'.just seeing that one commet about receiving only one strut and then he was offered a 30% off for the other one.the point is,i stay far away and just the thoght of a false advertisement is really unkool.. i had ordered so many different parts for vehicles,numerous items for myself as well and the only thing i had a problem with was a cheap digital watch that never came in.. please let me know if this product is safe to order??? thanks in advance....MykuBoy78........(*-*)..........

I buy mine at FRY'S Electronics. If your not in an area where there is one, a electronics parts store will have them. I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can also get them at Home Depot as these are widely used fuses. If all else fails go to Amazon and type in T10AH ceramic fuse or T10A ceramic fuse and you can find them there. Hope this is of some help.

The real issue is that there isn't a very good way to tell until you do a little bit of work. First, are there blown capacitors? If so, what size are they. They will give a number on the side. Once you know that, you can go up in size and be fine (which is actually good if you have this particular issue with them blowing) If that's the case, and you're getting a ticking sound and the display won't come on then I'd say go for it. As long as you can solder or have someone handy who can. It is not something you just try to go and do.

I did not want the resister. You can buy it separately or purchase it as a 3 piece combo. But, by all means purchase the extension so you can relocate the FUEL PUMP DRIVER otherwise you'll be replacing it again if you simply put it back in the original location. Hope this helps, Bill Borland

Those are 200Ohm 1% metal film resistors. Same in the clear white and the multi-color set they have.

These LED's only have two leads. The longer Lead is the Anode +,and the shorter Lead is the cathode - . Use a 1/2 watt 1k resistor in series with a 12 volt supply. The LED flashes and changes color all on it's own with a built in microchip. It looks like a tiny black speck inside the LED. It has no effect on the brightness. I think these Led's are a great buy for the money. They did not come with 1 k resistors. I forgot what they came with. Important you use 1 (1k ) resistor per LED in series. Look up charts on LED's brightness,current draw , voltage and proper voltage drop resistor for you application. These LED's only have two leads.

It's defective, they could match. The leads are most likely in the wrong order. Idk if the can be switched or if they are soldered to control board. Not near mine to check.

you have to purchase resister separately. You also must determine which amperage resister you want. As I understand either one will work, however sticking with stock is probably going to give you the most peace of mind, all variables considered.
