LR4 Light Resistors
Hello all,
I have spent a few hours trying to figure out exactly where and how to place the resistors on the LR4 lights that are going on my LR3. I have read all of the threads by Slimim and other and for some reason, it still hasn't clicked in my head on which wires to use and how! Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Negative number 5 and positive number 3 if I remember rightly need to be bridged
The numbers were really small on the reverse of the multi plug

Thanks for the quick reply, so how do I do that? Do I cut #5 and attach it to the resistor and then cut number 3 and attach it to the resistor? Wont that leave two wires that aren't attached to anything??
Thanks.

No. You only want to bridge the wires. Make a small cut in each of the wires sheathing and put the resister between them.

Okay thank you, I think I understand. Sorry I am not the most electrically savvy. Just to clarify, I cut 3 and then put a resistor in between and then connect 3 on the other side? Thank you so much for clarifying for me!

No. No
The resister goes between 3 and 5

Expose some wire on 3 and 5. Put the resister between the exposed wires you've just made on 3 and 5

Okay, I actually think I understand now. Sorry, I feel so stupid I just don't want to mess up.
I made up a diagram, is this what you mean?
