Question:
How often does this particular light need a load resistor. I have a Jayco class C motorhome and not sure if Im going to need to order load resistor

Helpful Expert Reply:
The general rule of thumb is that you will need a load resistor like # DI34ZR when switching from incandescent lights to any circuit with flashing LED lights- like a turn signal. I've seen cases where people in new vehicles have been able to pull it off without them, but in my experience it's normally needed.
If you wanted to try installing the light first and see what happens, you could always add them on the turn signal circuits after the fact if you discover that you're getting a hyper flash.
