Signals on constant

So no 10 watt 10 ohm resistors so I used the big bulky ceramic ones that came with the clear alternatives tail they are 25W 5ohm it seems to work lets just hope they don't get too too hot lol.

well, if they do, they'll melt an air intake for themselves, don't worry

 LOL these are munted in the tail section and with just those ones the fronts flash fine now also with no resistors

25w is overkill, you don't have to worry about it getting hot. would only have to worry about that if you went smaller than 10 watt.

 What about them only being 5 OHM though is that really going to make a difference?

the ohm number is the amount of resistance, where wattage is the amount of power the resistor is rated to handle. 5 OHM vs 10 OHM is only going to make your signals flash a little faster, which IMO is not all a bad thing.

he's correct in that statement.

you can change the speed of the flash with your ohm's. higher the ohms (resistance), the slower they will flash. so if you ever want to REALLY slow them down, go up to a 15ohm or little more (though that will be a fairly large sized resistor).

watts= power it can handle
ohms= how much your pushing back against it (just think of this as speed)

too much power than it can handle, burn baby burn. higher rated power capacity than your going to put on it, overkill but won't hurt anything 

so, pretty much, out of all that, you can take this from the rambling...your good

 Thanks guys I wasn't sure if it was going to still flash too fast but a little faster is not too bad.
