Default Which two wires to i tap into for led load resistors (turn signals)

the 50w 6ohm resistors i bought don't show a three wire setup.

while on the subject, where have you all mounted them since they do get hot.

The answer is EP27 electronic flasher, no splicing. Takes care of all the bulbs at once:

I ordered an EP27 relay for my 2008 and it seemed to work for a day, but then the flashers stopped working when I press on the brakes, or if my lights are on the flashers don't work at all, even when I am not pressing the brakes. Any thoughts?
