If your rear bulbs are also LED, you'll need to either put two resistors per side, or one resistor with twice the resistance. But this way the resistors aren't constantly on with the front DRL bulb.
Thanks @Jeffy

I'll try this out and follow up

Yeah but the 7443 incandescent blew both sides after 2 months, replaced and got another 1 month from the bulbs and sockets. I'm on socket #3 hahaha.

I appreciate your help here, really. I'll give his method of no CANBUS and add a rear resistor.

Returning the lasfit which sucks since they are in fact very bright.
