LED tail light/signal questions

[kickinmhl]

I have 2 questions I am hoping someone could answer for me before I continue with this mod.

I have just purchased a LED taillight with integrated turn signals and a pair of flush mount signals for the front as well.

1st question:  Taillight/rear signals.
The tail light itself just plugs in the stock harness, but it also has 2 hot leads for the integrated signals.  The instructions say to connect the positive to the positive wire in the male lead on the harness.  There is no negative for the signal to hook to the other side of the signal harness.  Instead it says to splice the resistor into the positive lead of the signal and then ground it.  Does this mean i can essentially short the neg side of the signal harness to the positive side along with the positive lead to the LED signal hot wire?  That seems odd.  I didn't want to take a chance before asking.  Advice please....

2nd Question:  front signals
According to the electrical schematic, it appears that the front turn signal is in the same circuit as the rear on the same side.  If I have the resistor hooked up in the rear, do I need to hook another up in the front?  Or will the resistor take care of both front and back?

Thank you for any clarification you can provide!!

I'd think if the fronts are also LED's they'd need resistors, too, since the resistor instl you're putting in the back is only handling the back from your description.

You could forget the resistors alltogether if you get one of those LED signal relays and just install that instead.

If the front flush mounts are incandescent, they wouldn't need any mods.

for the rear signals I ran the signal wires into the proper input  on the tail light with the resistor tied in at that connection . the other end of the resistor tied into the neg side of the original turn signal wires . all of that can be avoided if you just get an electronic flasher unit as opposed to the load sensing stock one .

ps... my friends all say they notice the new light and signals much better than stock. 1g b12 s
