Default LED Turn Signal Install

Has anyone installed RECON's LED turn signals on their JK? If so, which wire going to the socket does the resistor get spliced into. I tried to test for voltage on the terminals in the socket after I removed the lamp and the lamp holder, while the turn signal was on , but didn't get any voltage. I'm thinking the meter leads weren't making good contact. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I only got two resistors with my lights, one for each side. My question now is why would one resistor get spliced into two wires. Isn't the black wire the ground?

Where did you get them from? They didn't provide any instruction of support?

I got mine from V-LED. Here is a diagram from them:

I just installed the recon LED turn signals without the resistors to get a better look at the wiring, I have a black wire, a white wire with a strip and a plain white wire....which wires do I connect the resistor to?

All I did was plug the new turn signals into the light receptical and i'm a little concerned about them being exposed to the elements.

Did anyone do anything to ensure they are water proof? or have any ideas to ensure that the lights stay waterproof?
