I only know enough about curing electrical problems to make expensive mistakes, so I'll ask here before I start fettling:
I installed new LED front turn signal indicators to get rid of the ugly motorcycle-sourced ones that came with the car. They work, but the instructions warned that they might blink at a much faster rate than the old, and sure enough they do. The instructions recommend installing a resistor in parallel with each indicator to solve this problem. By "in parallel" do they mean across the positive to the negative, or in line with either the positive or negative lead? The resistor they recommend is 8.2 ohm with a rating of 20 watts for each indicator.
I'll post a pic of the end result once everything's back together.
Thanks!
Stan
