Default Installed LED Switchback biulbs in the DRL position...have hyperflash

I knew that this was going to happen so I bought the 6ohm load resistors to correct it. I am supposed to connect them between the two DRL leads going to the bulb. The problem is that there isn't enough slack in the DRL bulb harness to do the wire splicing.

Has anyone installed these? Any tips for me?

I'd just buy the flasher bypass harness from Richard. If you're cheap, there's a free fix that takes some effort. It's up to you.

well they shouldn't have cost more than ten or fifteen bucks, so it's not that big a loss, is it?

instead of fumbling around in a cramped area, trying to splice in and wire a set of resistors that will fail in a short time, get the bypass harness that is a 15 minute plug and play permenant fix.

if you go this route, you will save yourself a major headache in the future, trust me.
