Hyperflash resisters: You got em'? Like em'?
Where and how did you install them? I did some searching but the threads were old and the pics they posted weren't good anymore.
I have JW clearcorners and halos. Haven't installed the headlights yet. 01' Z
I appreciate the help!

I bypassed the flasher myself. Costs about $10.
Many of the resistors come with those little quick lock connectors that stab through the wire insulation. Completely the wrong product to use on the exterior of a car. You can use them but I never will. Everything on the exterior of my car is weather sealed so it's reliable.
Others complain about the resistors failing, which means you get to keep replacing them. Likely because the front turn signals double as the DRL lights and the resistors are powered all the time and they're not sized for continuous duty.

With the constant duty, these babies run hot at all times. Hot enough to melt anything they come in contact with. Do yourself a favor and install the hyperflash harness, or go the DIY route.

Melting Slicks
I like my hyper flash harness. I thought about making my own, but decided to pay the cash. Wasn't a big cost, by the time I gathered the parts, assembled it and put a moderate value on my time I would have had more in it than what I paid.
