Default hey guys need some help

well im putting in led taillights on moms 04 hemi and need some help. I changed all 4 taillight bulbs and need to know what color wires to put the resistors on because it is a harness not going direct to the bulbs like the dakota. so far all 4 are constant on even with the light switch off

first off, how are the lights on with the switch off? there should be no power to the tail lights.second, does the led lights give you a web address to goto if you have a problem?

Honestly your best bet is asking the guys in the Ram forum, I'm sure some of them have put in LED lights and probably know exactly which wire you need.
