Led resistor fix ?

For my Ducati I have an integral led indicator/side and brake light which causes the fast flash. Bought two resistors which each have two wires in two wires out.
Question is anybody know which wire goes where ?

I will get the multi meter out just hoped I was missing something obvious

You wire them across the bulb - in parallel - so one wire to each of the wires that goes to the bulb

But resistors have four wires each, in picture there are five wires total and they cover side/brake/earth/ winker x 2 I guess hence brain fade Many thanks

2 in 2 out sounds like a pair together - but hard to tell.

Normally you'd have 25-50 ohms across the bulb - or from the live supply to earth which is effectively the same thing.

On the 5 wire one, it would sound like they have wired 4 together inside 1 box, with a common earth already.

4 wires is hard to tell - could be 3 resistors with a common 1 earth - or 2 resistors with 2 wires each.....

Time to get the meter out
