LED Tail light Resistor Question

I just test fit a pair of LED tail lights on my MY99 C2 Cab. Love the look but i have the fast blinker issue.

I already have the resistors on hand to cure the problem, I just want to confirm that I want to install them across the Turn Signal leads. Correct?

Thanks in advance for your help.

J.D.

Yes, I think there all the same. Typical ebay LED tail lights for 996.

I know a number of people have gone the resistor route for the hyperblinking, I just need to know which bulb I'm tapping into.

It seems like it would be the directional bulb because they are the lights that are "overperfroming" but from reviewing all the postings, most people seem to be talking about the brake light circuit to fix the cruise problem.

Anybody?
