I had to use resistors. I liked the fast flash when I had the Clear Alternative Tail Light, but when I added the Hot Bodies Racing front LED... flash no more. When I turned on either signal, all I had was a faint flicker. Cup your hands around the lights and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You can get resistors from radio shack. The resistors that came with my tail light kit was a 20ohms and that puts you back to stock speed on the flashing. I've thought about going back to radio shack and trying the 10 or 15 ohms resistors to see if I can get the fast flash back. I know they have 10 and 15 ohms on the shelf because I wanted to use something different than the bricks you get. To get the higher ohms we need... you have to buy the heavy ceramic covered ones. But they are cheap so I'd try the 10 and the 15. You wire them up by shorting across the wire, not in line. You only add a load by adding the resistor to the wiring like a light bulb would connect. One side is connected to the hot wire and the other to the ground. Did that make sense? Hope so, if not PM me.
