Default Installed Black Cherry LED's now I have Hyper Flash

Installed the Black Cherry tail light & marker set of leds from C5vetteLS1 today on my Cyber gray 09 Z..

I called C5VetteLS1 and spoke with Richard, he sold and is sending me out a resistor.

ALL FIXED AND LUV THEM, NORMAL FLASH WITH RESISTOR THAT RICHARD SENT.

Yup, you need to shunt the turn signal wire and the ground with the resistor. Make sure you mount the resistor someplace (seen people put it on the back "tub" of the chassis) where it won't melt - these things get damn hot - especially if you have an automatic and are going to be sitting at stop lights for long periods of time with the brake on.

I would be very careful when using a resistor that produces heat.
