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.
