I just installed LED bulbs in the turn signals on my parents 2005 Yukon XL Denali. Yes, I installed load resistors (10 Ohm/25w link).
So here's the deal. The socket has three wires, because it is used for both a marker light and a turn signal. The bulbs have four pins. I wired the load resistor from the black center wire (ground) to the outer blue wire (turn signal). This took care of the hyper-blinking caused by the low power draw of the LED's. The turn signals flash at the proper speed as long as the marker/headlights are not on. When the marker lights are on the turn signal hyper-flashes. Also, the turn signal indicators are slightly lit up solid all the time when the marker/headlights are on.
Anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to get a different load resistor? Is the wattage correct on that load resistor.
O/T: Here's a pick of the aftermarket headlights turn signals I just installed:
