Default Load resistor.

Hi ... I noticed some companies they add load resistor to the tail light this way ( picture 1 ) is that right or wrong cuz I know the load resistor get very hot so is that the right way to put it ?

because I decided to add a load resistor to my tail light because they don't come with it and l must to put it ( long story) so I add a piece aluminum under the load resistor to be more safe so is that will be okay or no ?

You don't need load resistance. Get the hyper flash harness. If you are going to do it, I would not suggest thst you heat sink to plastic.

Even if you have hyper relay still you need to add load resistor to taillights ...if you're taillight led don't have resister it will case a problem. Sooner or later ..l have hyper relay for years and l get problem with hazard switch because l buy upgrade taillight from Vette light that they don't comes with resistor which case hyper hazard ..lam going to post a video for this problem ... ... Hyper relay it's Not enough if you're taillight don't comes with resistor
