Resistors for L.E.D Bulbs???

Just threw on some aftermarket tail lights and swapped the bulbs to LED's. Now turn signal blinks @ 2x normal speed. Do i need to put a resistor inline somewhere and if so, what size?

Oh Ya... Dont buy cheap taillight off of fleabay unless you like to modify stuff with a roto-zip...lol

Thanks,
Todd

This will solve LED related turn signal problems such as rapid flashing, not flashing, or bulb burnt out warning on dashboard
Pin Length: Approx. 0.47 inch / 1.2cm
Voltage: 12V
Power: 240W
Switch Current: 0.02 - 20A
Size( L x W x H): Approx. 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.2 inch / 3 x 3 x 3 cm

Idk which one your trucks. You'd just have to pull it and find the one that matches it.
