Are Load Resistors Needed for Reverse LED Trailer Lights
Question:
Before I tried to install LED brake lights and sense I didnt have a resistor installed when the truck was off a small amount of power was getting to the lights and leaving them dimly lit. Will I have this issue with reverse lights or since there shouldnt be much amperage going to them when the truck is off will the not be dimly lit?

You will not need load resistors to install the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL35CB; load resistors are not needed for reverse lights like these.
The only thing you will need are Grommet # A33GB and a 2-wire pigtail, either part # A45CB or the right-angle pigtail, part # A49PB.
I have added links for video reviews for you to check out as well.
