LED Bulb replacement - kenmac - 05-01-2018
I've bought LED bulbs to replace all my filament bulbs, now i know on the indicators i will need to wire in the resistor, can i just connect it in the side indicators or do i have to connect one in them all ?

I think you only need one resistor on each side, not for each individual bulb.

Cheers parthiban I thought so but anything electrical on cars is not my thing, so lets see if we are both right.

the load resistor needs to go on the positive side of the lamp im pretty sure lol

that's right.
If you have bought direct replacement LED bulbs they should have the resistor inbuilt, if not you can wire a resistor in however you like, the resistor value changes for the amount of LED's your powering.
