Greetings all!
I am planning on converting the lighting for my Gen 1 Expedition from incandescent to LEDs. As a result, I know that I will need to install resistors for each of the turn signal circuits, or face the evils of hyper-flash. A question that I have - shouldn't I just be able to wire a resistor into the turn signal's power lead to provide the needed additional resistance, rather than wiring one end of the resistor to the power leg and the other to the ground leg? It's been a loooong time since I studied electronics in college, and it is possible that I'm missing some important concept, so thought I would ask.
