Tail light wiring question
I bought a set of LED tail lights from Mid America. I also bought 4 load resistors. I need to know how to wire them. My bulb wiring is 3 wires green, brown, black on the left side and yellow, brown, black on the right side. I need to know what color wire is ground and what color is the turn/brake wire. Thanks for your help.

Are you pretty sure yellow is on the right side? Standard wiring color code is brown to tail lamps, black to ground, and yellow for left turn and brake, green for right turn and brake. That code is used for trailers, cars, etc. Either way the yellow and green are turn/brake wiring colors.

Return the resistors (or throw them away) and buy a flasher bypass harness. You won't regret it. Then it is all plug and play and you won't have to deal with failed resistors or bad connections caused by splicing them in.
