Careful ...don't confuse OHMS with WATTS ...
R=3DE/I (resistance in ohms equals voltage divided by current)
P=3DIE=C2=A0 (power in watts equals current multiplied by volts

Per the Moss video, you're creating a new ground path to prevent all=20
lights blinking when you turn on the left or right turn signal.=C2=A0 So=20
connect the ballast resistors to the turn signal circuit.
