I am putting the load resistors in the turning signals of my 2009 accord. I jus dont know which wire to splice. The drivers side has one red wire and two others. The passenger side is 3 different colors but no red wire. pics included , plz help.

It's much easier to do it in the rear. It doesn't matter where the led bulbs are front/rear they all share the same circuit. Also in the rear there are only two wires so it's a no brainier.

ooohhh wow , u jus blew my mind!! I thought that i needed to use a resistor for each led because i also have leds in the rear. so i only need one for each side?

It depends on the resistors you are using. Most common are 50w 6ohm. You will need one for each bulb. You can purchase different load resistors with a different impedance that may only require you to run 2 resistors. Furthermore I have doubled them up in the rear. So 4 total, 2 on each side in the rear I'm not sure on the values for the ones you would only need two of. Also just wire the ones in you have. The idea is they just suck up some of the extra juice the led bulbs don't need. Even tho you have 4 bulbs they might slow em down enough without buying anything else. Good luck.

50w 3 ohm is what you need to run one resistor per side.

thank u very much

theres 3 wires in the back also....no idea which is which

On the turn signals? You sure? Mine only has two. The turn signals only have a single filament I the back so it should be two. Make sure you aren't looking at the brake/running lights bulb that has 2 filaments. Good info and some good pics here How to Install Load Resistors for LED Turn Signal Lights

you were right, i was looking at the wrong one. I figured it out, thanks again
