 In order to get led turnsignals to work on our cars you need to have a bal=
last resistor wired into the circuit. I think MOSS has a video on just this=
 issue.

 Hi,

also have a third LED brake light on the car - which I have unplugged=20

Here's the problem.=C2=A0 When the tail lights are on and I use the flasher=

the tail/brake lights flicker with the flasher.=C2=A0 They don't go on and=

off but the get brighter and dimmer.=C2=A0 When the third brake light is=20
hooked up it does the same thing.

I suspect the problem is related to grounding, but I am not sure how to=20
improve the grounding on the 250.=C2=A0=C2=A0 Any suggestions?

Thanks,
