Folks,
I have a question for someone who's more familiar than I am with wiring, electronics, and specifically lighting:
Background:
I recently upgraded all my lights to LEDs and was running into the usual hyperflash problem you get after about a minute, which has been pretty well described around the forums. I eventually found a decent supposedly plug-and-play resistor solution (it was not, but picture below) but in the end, because the sockets that came with the resistors failed to secure into my bulb housings, I actually had to cut the red/white and green wires on the side with the female socket, and then splice in an OEM socket I got from Honda.
My question is this:
Is it possible that I had crossed the wires (the red/white and green cables on the side with the gray female socket in that picture) backwards, thereby putting the whole system at risk? Or does it not matter which end connects to the elements on the bulb, because the system works either way?
The bulbs all seem to work just fine, and I have not fried any of the circuit breakers. Just wondering whether there's a potential for risk, and I should disassemble and look for another solution. Thanks in advance!
