Default LED turnsignals

I really do not want to run resisters, but I would like to run LEDs in the turnsignals. We all know that Facelift Disco have weird two place relays, does anybody have a proper way around this?

So you mean NOT on the fenders right? Cause you can buy those on eBay, Amazon etc

I mean replacing the incandescent lamps in the front and rear turnsignals with LEDs. To do so needs either an LED compatible relay or resisters. I do not want to use resisters, so that leaves trying to figure out the Face Lift Disco2's weird dual relay system

You mean something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/264822862121

that would work on a normal D2. The face lift model uses two seperate relays, one for each side of the truck

I see, you would need to modify the passenger compartment fusebox, since the relays are soldered onto the PCB. As another project I might add that to my project pipeline.
Then simplest solution would be using resistors to mimic the resistance of incandescent bulbs. The wasted power is negligible, since it is a turn signal.

Soldering in a 50W/6ohm resistor in parallel of both turn signals is easy to do. No more hyperflash with LED bulbs
