Parking Lights Resistor

0 votes
On my 2005 dodge dakota installed evo one and it all works properly however my parking lights keep going off as ther resistor fails. I used a 1.5k ohm 1/2watt metal film resistor. Should i use a higher watt resistor or type of resistor such as carbon film?

Did the instructions recomend using a resistor?  Most cars I have installed on, parking light wire is connected directly but I work mostly on Subarus so it may differ.

Yes it recommended 1.5k ohm resistor bit didn't specify type or watt size
