Help Installing LED TAILLIGHTS PLEASE
Hi All
I am not very mechanical inclined i guess when i comes to fixing my car.
So if anyone can help me id be grateful. I was wondering what do i do with the two little boxes filled with chalk when i install my taillights.
Please send suggestions or answers.
Thanks all

.... nothing to brag about, it is a previous model....
Those box are resistor for LED's.
Which similar to the idea when we did the license plate bulb that need resistor to "fool" your car. (no Lamp Malfunction warning)
I think, Chalk-like substance is to prevent moisture get on resistor. (such we use ceramic sealed resistor for our license plate LED mod)
Just make sure you have good weather seal along the lamp housing after installed. (you could try apply the water resistance paste, fish tank glue, from inside )
p.s. I bet those little resistor box generate heat, hence do NOT secure them on the PCB board.
