[MUST READ] LED upgrade on 2014-2017 WK2(NO Resistor needed!)
NO LOAD RESISTOR NEEDED for this specific brand! Reason? I measured with my multimeter, it drains 0.546 Amp current from the electric system so the BCM (Body Control Module) thinks there is no missing bulb. With a typical LED bulb on Amazon usually drains 0.15Amp - 0.26Amp (150mA - 260mA) (but this highly depends on the bulb you purchase) current which may not big enough in order to get rid of hyper flashing, that case you WILL need to tap a load resistor to the wire. WK2 (2014+) owners, go ahead plug and play.
For my initial installation last month, I had a pair of smaller output rear turn/brake 3157 LED made by Sylvania, a pair of JDM 3030 chiset 7443 Amber LED for front turn/parking signal. These two WILL cause hyper flashing as they only drain 0.151amp from the battery. I installed 8ohm load resistor for each of the rear 3157 LED to fix the hyper flashing. But after switching to the new ones, I detached the resistors as they get really HOT - 212F/degrees as I measured!
2011-2013 WK2 owners: sorry I don't have those to test with, if you can please update some information down below.
