I would skip the red plastic splices and merge the wires.
Scroll down and look at the picture with the Facebook like thumbs up to see a picture of what i'm talking about: How To Install 50W 6-Ohm Load Resistor For LED Turn Signal Lights
Use your wire stripper to expose the copper wire on the green turn signal wire and the green w/yellow stripe wire. Then, strip both resistor wires so you have a half-inch or so exposed on each, then wrap the ends around the exposed wire on the green and green w/yellow stripe wires. It doesn't matter which side of the resistor you connect to the green and green w/yellow stripes.
Then test your brake lights and if the connection is good, wrap electrical tape around the merge you just did and you're good to go.

Ok, I realized I am still lost. I understand I need to merge now, but is there a diagram or quick instructions of where the resistor is wired in? For instance does the resistor go in between the car and the module or between the light and the module? I thought the resistor was connected to a black ground too? A step by step would be great if it's not too annoyijg. The module seems easy throw the resistor in and I'm confused as hell.

Here's a video of mine installed. I opted to keep the factory turn signal bulbs installed and have since replaced those with LED bulbs which makes them really pop.

It doesn't matter if its in front or behind the module. Just where you have the space. One side of mine is in front and the other side is behind the module. I did not merge but shaved the lining down until I was able to see the wires and then used the connectors and all was good.

Soldered connections or bust! Those wire taps is just asking for trouble down the road same with the crimp connectors. The right way is to solder and seal off with heatshrink tubing.

I Noticed that my front and rear turn signals flash in sync until I hit the brake and then they flash out of sync. Once I release the brake they start flashing synchronously again. Is this normal or did I maybe get some wires crossed?
