Default Turn signals!! stuck !!

Hello everyone im stuck cuz i put on these lockhart phillips led turn signals and when i went to turn them on they were either blinking too fast or stuck on. So i was wondering if i should put a resistor and if so what size and where cuz the orignal harness has 3 wires and the signals have 2 and also someone was tellin me i might need to put a blinker relay in. Thank you if u have any feedback !!

One resistor per side (a total of 2) will get you a "fast blink".................4 resistors (one on each signal) will get you the normal, stock speed.

I had the same problem last week. The are blinking just really fast so try this it worked for me.

connect the signal to the hot wire, then use the resistor to bridge between the hot and the ground wire?

+ 1 to needing resistors. The LED's don't require nearly the same level of current, so it makes the fast blink happen. Change out both sets, and you get what looks like "always on".

I dont have resistors and mine work great. Then again, Im a fan of the faster blinking.

i just ordered some LED signals, i dont plan on using resistors because i think i will like the fast blink, seems to be more visible. i shouldnt have any problems just wiring them on though right?
