LED Turn Signals - Resistors

You need to place resistors in parallel with the LEDs - LEDs have a relatively high resistance and the BCM thinks the bulb is burnt out. More than one DIY

You need to place resistors in parallel with the LEDs - LEDs have a relatively high resistance and the BCM thinks the bulb is burnt out. More than one DIY on this site. The resistors can generate a lot of heat so be careful where you mount them.

Edit: Or get "CAN-compatible" LEDs.
