LED LOAD RESISTOR KIT
LED lamps draw much less current than
standard incandescent lamps. On some late
model vehicles, this variation can cause the turn
signals to ash at an abnormal rate and/or cause
error codes in the electronics system. This kit is
designed to simulate the load of incandescent
lamps in order to correct these problems.
Installation is fairly simple with the right tools
and good mechanical/electrical abilities. If you
are not condent in your skills, please seek the
help of a professional to perform the installation.
Please read through these entire instructions
before proceeding with installation.
PARTS LIST
Please check your packages immediately upon
arrival to ensure that everything listed is included,
and to check for damage during shipping. If
anything is missing or damaged, call Poison
Spyder at (951) 849-5911 as soon as possible.
(1) Load Resistor with lead wires
(2) 18-14 Ga. Wire Tap Connectors
(2) 18-14 Ga. Butt Connectors
TOOLS NEEDED
• Electrical multi-meter or test light
• Electrical wire cutter/crimper
• Channel-lock pliers
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
These Load Resistors are primarily used in
conjunction with LED taillights on JK Jeeps,
which are a commonly used with Poison Spyder
Crusher Corners. It is assumed that installation
of the LED’s is already completed, either as

part of a Crusher Corner installation or by some
other method. These instructions only cover the
installation of the Load Resistors themselves.
TWO Load Resistor Kits are required for one
Jeep, as one will be installed at each taillight.
The following procedure assumes installing the
Load Resistor in conjunction with the specic
LED Taillight and Pigtail sold by Poison Spyder
Customs.
The Load Resistor is installed behind the LED
taillight assembly, inside the body panel of the
Jeep. If the LED Taillight is already installed,
remove it to gain access to the space behind it
and the OE wiring.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface, place the
transmission in gear or park and set the
emergency brake.
2. Reach through the LED taillight hole and
locate the taillight wiring section of the OE
wiring harness. It will either be cut or have
the OE plug from where it attached to the OE
taillight assembly. Carefully pull as much of
the harness out through the hole as possible
without damaging it, making it easier to work
on the wiring.
3. Identify which wires in the harness are
the hot leads for the running lights and for
the stop/turn lights. Use a test light or multimeter to ID these wires. Turn the running
lights on and probe each wire until you
nd the “hot” one. Then turn on the turn
signal for whichever side you’re working on
to determine which wire is correct for that
circuit.
4. Study the diagram at the top of page 2 of
these instructions. Note that there are three
wires in the pigtail coming from the LED
taillight: black, red and white.
4. Use one of the Wire Tap Connectors to tap
one of the Load Resistor leads into the RED
wire from the LED Pigtail. These Wire Tap
Connectors work by piercing through the wire
insulation. To install them, slide the through-

wire (in this case, the red wire from the LED
Pigtail) through the slot in the connector
that goes all the way through. Leave a few
inches of the red wire poking through the
other side of the connector. Then insert
the lead from the Load Resistor (it doesn’t
matter which one) into the non-through slot
in the connector, and push it in until it hits
the internal stop. Next, use the channel-lock
pliers to crimp the metal tang down into the
connector, which pierces the insulation and
completes the tap. Finish by clasping the
connector’s cover shut.
5. Use a Butt Connector to connect the end
of the red wire to the Stop/Turn Lights hot
leadintheOEharness,whichyouidentied
in Step 3.
6. Use the other Wire Tap Connector to tap
the remaining Load Resistor lead into the
WHITE wire in the LED Pigtail. Repeat the
procedure from Step 4 for installing the Wire
Tap Connector.
7. Attach the ring terminal at the end of the
white wire to a suitable ground.
8. Use the remaining Butt Connector to
connect the end of the BLACK wire in the
LED Pigtail to the Running Lights hot lead in
theOEwiring,whichyouidentiedinStep3.
9. With these connections completed, plug
the LED Lamp into the LED Pigtail and test

location inside the body panel. Note that it
can develop heat, just like the incandescent
lamp it is simulating, so be careful not to
mount it to or near anything that can melt or
be damaged by heat, such as other wiring,
plastic items, painted surfaces, etc.
