LED Tail-lights keep blinking

I ordered some LED tail-lights online and once installed they continue to blink and will not work as regular stop/signal lights? Do I need some sort of resistor...... I'm cornfused

You need a load resistor, yes. That's why they flash much faster than normal.....

Like your helmet, Tough Luck #13....I have the Lucky #7 Strongarm jacket and love it (Plus it matches my roulette green S4 quite well)....

Thanks man....I really appreciate it......I love those types of helmet. I'm sure another will come out soon that I like and I have to have that one too.!!!


So where can I get a load resistor at? Is it applicant specific?

Question: Will changing the fuse to an LED compatible one mess with some other electronics?

I'm confused as hell

I doubt it. Besides, I wouldn't change the fuse. It's the blinker relay you want to change out. Changing the fuse wouldn't do anything at all. The blinker relay is what controls the flashing speed.
