Installing Resistor on LED Bulbs

Posted by on Apr 7th 2016

Installing a 100ohm resistor on a LED bulb can fix problems such as:

Flickering

Shutting off

Not turning on

These are common problems on some vehicles equipped with CANBUS systems such as German and Chrysler vehicles.

Installation of a resistor is every easy. Resistors can be installed in any direction, there is

no polarity on a resistor. One end will go to ground, and the other end to positive. How

you go about it will vary on your light housing or LED mounting location. You can do it

on the wire leading to the LED or do it right on the housing connectors.
