RECON LED Load Resistor User Manual
RECON For the car
General Installation Notes for all RECON LED Load Resistors
Due to the low resistance nature of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, most automobiles & other 12-volt related vehicular applications such
as Motorcycle, ATV’s, Side-by-Sides, RV’s, Golf Carts, etc., will require the use of a special load resistor to prevent a turn signal from blinking
rapidly (which is an indication that a bulb is out or even a warning signal may show on the vehicles dashboard.) To solve this issue, RECON
produces a special “heavy-duty” 50 Watt 6 Ohm LED load resistor & a “light-duty” 25 Watt 3 Ohm LED load resistor which each draw the
equivalent amount of current of a standard halogen / incandescent bulb. The installation of these LED load resistors is a very simple and straight
forward process as indicated below.
Install instructions for part #’s 26410 & 26420 – LED Load Resistors for use with RECON LED Bulbs
Step 1)
Lay out the parts included in the box and ensure you have two (2) quick connect wire splice clips & one (1) 50 Watt 6 Ohm RECON Load
Resistor (screws are not included
Step 2)
After installing the LED bulb in place of the standard halogen / incandescent bulb, locate the positive turn signal wire & splice one end of
the resistor into this wire.
Step 3)
Locate the opposite wire coming off the opposite end of the resistor & ground this wire to the chassis of the vehicle. (DO NOT SPLICE THIS
REMAINING WIRE ON THE LOAD RESISTOR TO THE NEGATIVE WIRE COMING OFF THE BULB.)
Step 4)
Using small sheet metal or equivalent screws (which are not included), be sure to mount the RECON LED Load Resistor to a metal section
of the chassis which can easily withstand the high temperatures generated by the LED Load Resistor. This resistor can reach constant
operating temperatures of up to 250 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 5)
Install both Driver side & Passenger side LED bulbs and one (1) load resistor on each positive wire coming off of each bulb before
attempting to test the function of the turn signals or other bulbs that have been changed to LED from halogen / incandescent. After
confirming that each LED bulb has a RECON LED load resistor installed and it is properly wired into it, you may then conduct a test of the
LED bulbs installed on the vehicle.
