Load Resistors
Load resistors, also known as load equalizers or LED resistors, are electrical components used in automotive lighting systems to address issues related to the lower power consumption of LED lights compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. When LED bulbs are installed in place of incandescent bulbs for turn signals or brake lights, they can sometimes cause hyper-flashing or error codes due to the reduced power draw. Load resistors are added to the circuit to simulate the resistance of an incandescent bulb, ensuring that the vehicle's flasher unit or control module operates correctly. They help prevent hyper-flashing, ensure proper function of turn signals and brake lights, and eliminate error messages in the vehicle's onboard computer system. Load resistors typically dissipate heat, so they should be mounted in a location where airflow is adequate to prevent overheating.
