After reading this info I'm a little loss. I was considering installing resistors but now I have mixed feelings. Every single bulb is led. Now when I turn on just the park lights the corner lights dim to almost barely on. But whenever there blinking the corner lights turn on bright.... I do have the 4 corner mod but what will fix this issue. Before I had the led park lights that came with the ballast or whatever those big square things are, and everything worked normal. Now I have oem housing with led bulbs and the corners are dim as hell. Any ideas or tips?

Well for anybody else that has an issue with there corners shining bright ,I think I found a solution. In my case they wernt bright and no matter what led bulb I bought they wouldn't get brighter.. I understand resistors are a fire Hazzard but I just went ahead and bit the bullet. Taking advice from everyone who chimed in this thread I went ahead and routed the resistors under the bumper where there's nothing but metal around. I already had the led flasher relay, but just needed my corners brighter. The pictures are before and after. Before being in the dark and barely lighting up...after being so bright I could take it during daylight. The resistors will be secured to the bumper bracket and covered with a Mud guard to help from rocks and heavy showers of water. For the guys who didn't need resistors , I must have an odd ball setup because I sure as hell needed it.
