Default load resistor question

Well I'm sorry guys but once I try looking at these diagrams I just get so confused mind u I'm looking at this the first time :/
I am just gonna try to connect each resistor of each light to connect between the two wires that are at the socket cuz for that led bulb to work it needs a hot and a ground so if there is only 2 than it should b pretty safe to assume that those are the right ones no?
Also when is the car gonna switch back to normal blinking? Do I first have to finish with the res on all 4 lights(front and rear) or should each light go back to normal when I hooked up the res on lets say just front right for example

Oh and ya I know 1 for each light (does that mean I need one for each side marker too???) and they are 50w 6 Ohm that's supposedly what everyone is using for our cars

Edit: ok so what I did didn't work I went to the green-black with one end and to the black-yellow with the other end of the res. those are the 2 wires from the turnsignal socket but I only did the fronts so far

The "AXX" numbers in the "ovals" (eg, E55) are the connector identifier. The numbers on each side of the lamps are the pin numbers. Once you know the conector and pin info, go to the pinouts and it will tell you where the pins are physically located in the connector and the wire color.

Modifying the wiring on a computer-controlled car without knowing what you are doing is a VERY bad idea - you run the risk of burning out the BCM ($$$).

The blinking should go back to normal immediately - assuming you installed the proper resistor correctly. If you install the RR resistor first, that light should then blink normally but the rest will still blink fast.

Edit: You may have to do the front and rear on one side for the blinking to return to normal.

You will need one resistor for each of the rear lights and one resistor for each set of front lights. Total of four resistors.

u guys probably wont believe it but i finally found out how to find my way to the colors but i was looking at the wrong stuff the whole time
but now to read those color shortcuts is like a guessing game and i cant find an explanation for them anywhere
and the other thing is for examample according to wiring diagram i need connector E58 fr combination lamp LH and then wire 4 and 6 now the connector belongs to the engine room harness and it says wire 4 color is B/W and wire 6 is GR which i think is green but now it comes mine is actually green black so whats up with that
also for the rest of the wires it says
3= B ? black? brown?
5= P ? purple maybe? but if so, that connector doesnt have a purple wire
7= LG ? light green or grey
8= BG what?

edit: i may have looked at the wrong end i think it also sayed H.S i guess means harness side and then the wires woulactualy work out!
yap figured it out thx to u guys +rep comin ur way @digi @southark! gonna redo everything on the weekend cuz i connected to the wrong wires but luckly i didnt drive the car
