Default Led restrictor install

I have a 96 collector edition coupe LT-4, I changed the tail lights last year to LED smoke ones, of course they won't blink, I was told 2 solutions replace the flasher, or recently was told to put LED restrictors on each light. I have the restrictors but wanna make sure i splice to correct wire. Anyone that can help would be appreciated. A little FYI smoke LED's look amazing on the car thank you Kevin Mersman

Changing the flasher would be a lot simpler than adding those resistors. You're not cutting any wires going that route. I did what you are doing several years ago and the flasher is a 5 minute replacement and you're done.

Install an electronic flasher. Way more easy than hacking the OEM wiring
