Led switchbacks quick question

I just looked thru an old thread. I did order the switchbacks and load resistors but reading that old threat it looks like I can skip the wiring of the resistors and just plug and play with the LED switchbacks?? I just need to take the truck to the dealership to get it programmed right??

Does this sound right?

Yes, that is correct on the 2008 and newer Superdutys!

They do not use a standard flasher unit for the turn signals, the computer controls the flash speed.

Ambien is a great thing -- haha....

I already have the LED Switchbacks and they sent seperate resistors -- but if I dont have to cut wire or whatever then I won't..
