Exclamation LEDs Tail lights JKU 2017

Aftermarket LEDs Tail Lights were working properly only one year. I ran a Jscan but I could not switched the PCM system to LED. So i need a resistor to increase the load as LEDs do not provide the same electrical load. What kind of resistor do you recommend??

You would need load resistors on both the stop/blinker and the tail lights. Might just be the lights gone as they were working previously. Not keen on any aftermarket LED tailight. Too flaky unless you are paying for those multiple $100's units from places like Quadratek or similar. Resistors would be a 75 ohm perhaps 10W rated. That will pull about 0.2A load. I wouldconnect a standard bulb on one side not working and try to make sure it is the light fixture not the actual circuit.
