That's What I read here too . For the life of me I can't find the damned thread. I swear it is somewhere from 2012 in the softail section. I searched the forum and also the forum via Google (some say this is better). Subtract the new bulb's resistance from the OEM and the remaining value is +/- 5% of the resistor needed.
Does this help? Probably not....

That'll probably work, now you just gotta find a place to put them. Only attach them to the blinker part of the bulb, not the running light. And they do get "hot".
