Load resistors in the rear

Hello, I’ve installed LEDs in the tail lights, but I’m getting hyper flash. I have 4x load resistors to install, but I’m having a hard time figuring out where to mount them, as everything in the bays are plastic and they get real hot. Anyone have any examples of what they did? Also, would the positive connect to the running + or brake/stop +? Thanks!

Blinker Hyper Flash

Does anyone know if the gen 5 Camaro has a relay switch that can be changed for one that supports LED’s or are they permanent relays? Can’t find the answer anywhere?

The lighting is controlled through the BCM. There are no relays or flashers anymore. The BCM eliminates the need for these items. If you ever have a bulb short circuit you will find you have to check your BCM fuses nowadays, not like the past where the lights had dedicated circuits.

Wouldn't they only hyperflash when using the turn signal? If so, would they still get that hot while on the turn signal circuit?
