Led turn signal question

If you are putting led turn signals on a cart do you have to put one of those resisters on each light?

Either that or get a flasher unit "for" LED's. NAPA has them

If the flasher unit is a two wire, yes.
If the flasher is a three wire then generally not, the three wire units do not check the current traveling to the lights.

I put signals on a utv with leds, found one of the led relays it works fine. I had to as the signal switch was only for 2 wire or something, but relay was not that much. Took a while to get here from China though (ebay), I guess nobody in the US can make or stock them unless they charge double.

To use a 3 wire relay you just add a ground wire as the third legs. But I have not done this for far longer than LEDs have been on the market.
We used to do this to cure rapid blinking when towing trailers long time ago.

Well that is a trick I did not know about.
