I tried resistor and the didn't work...probably something I did wrong but I cant wait to get this video up

Why use a resistor when an $8 electronic flasher works too? Resistors can burn out, and turn electrical energy into heat, just like a regular bulb. Plus they're usually more than $8 if they weren't included, and you have to splice them into your wiring.

PS: If you wired the resistors between the 2 wires, instead of in series in one wire, it won't do much of anything, since the LEDs will have lower resistance than the resistor.

Those are cool looking! Are they visible enough when someone is directly behind you?
Inside the fairing on the left hand side you will find the OEM flasher. It's mounted low with a little rubber mount. It has a plug with 2 wires.
Easy and cheap to swap out. :D
