Anzo / recon - led turn signal wiring help!
Ok, I bought some Recon LED turn signals and Anzo LED turn signals both smoked. (accidentally won 2 ebay auctions!) I have them both and I am by far a tech/electrical guy and didnt realize I would have to add resistors and ground them or any of that jazz!! Is there anyone that can give me just a basic, laymens terms explanation of what I need to do to hook these up? I installed them in the grill but the flash quickly and the passenger side doesnt work at all.
Any info, help, words of encouragement, I'll even take non-encouraging words (LOL).........just something to help me along would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance

For the one that is not working, try flipping the connector from the Jeep over. I have the Recon LEDs and they can be a bit of a pain. Be careful when re-installing the grill because the connector on the Jeep can make contact with the steel parts behind the grill. So far I have broken both Jeep connectors as well as both lights.
Are you going to sell a set?
I would need to look at my wiring in a bit to provide comment on that. I know I installed the resistors to that metal part that is located right behind the turn signal. Not ideal, but it works.

I have the anzos. I thought it would be an easy setup but like you I had no idea what I got myself into. Took it to my local mechanic. Wish with these led lights they come with resisters already wired to the lights.
